Diamondbacks' Yu-Min Lin: Gearing up for return
Yu-Min Lin (jaw) threw a 45-pitch live bullpen session Friday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.Lin is scheduled to throw two more side sessions, with Arizona Diamondbacks farm director Shaun Larkin noting that the southpaw will be six weeks removed from undergoing jaw surgery at that point. The 20-year-old required surgery after he suffered multiple facial fractures when he was struck in the face by a foul ball while sitting in the dugout during a Double-A Amarillo game in late April. Larkin noted that the Diamondbacks are optimistic Lin will be ready to cover five innings and 75 pitches around June 14, so that's presumably his target date for a retrun from Amarillo's 7-day injured list.

Diamondbacks' Yu-Min Lin: Success as 19-year-old at High-A
Yu-Min Lin has a 3.27 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 11 innings over his last three starts for High-A Hillsboro.The 19-year-old undersized southpaw boasts a phenomenal changeup that has proved too much for most of the hitters he has faced lately. His first start of the season on April 15, in which he gave up three earned runs while walking two and only getting four outs, is dragging down his season numbers. Lin's 54.2 percent groundball rate is also a stellar mark, and it's worth noting the Taiwanese hurler is the second-youngest pitcher at High-A behind San Diego's Victor Lizarraga.
