Lawrence Butler Makes Spring Debut as Designated Hitter

Lawrence Butler is making his first spring training appearance Tuesday, batting third as the designated hitter against the White Sox. The 25-year-old was brought along slowly after undergoing surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon in his right knee last October, alongside a PRP injection for left knee tendinitis. Assuming he experiences no issues during his DH action, Butler is expected to return to the outfield later this week.
