Dahlstrand, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, made his debut for Double-A Portland on Saturday, Kevin Thomas of the Portland Press Herald reports. He allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out two in six innings.
Dahlstrand continues to work his way back from the injury, but after starts in the Gulf Coast League and at short-season Lowell, the 24-year-old is back on his development schedule in the Double-A Eastern League. A 10th-round draft pick in 2010, Dahlstrand is a late bloomer and not yet on the 40-man roster, but will continue to track as a starter for an organization whose upper-level starters have taken a hit in 2016.
