News: Almora (ribs) was able to return to Friday's intrasquad matchup, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact: Almora was diagnosed with bruised left ribs after running into the center field wall Friday, but he returned to hit and play the field later in the game after being examined by medical personnel. The team may exercise caution as they monitor the issue over the coming days, but his return to the game signals that he's unlikely to be too limited by the injury.
