MLB ONLY TWO WOLVERINES REMAIN IN THE MAJORS Pitcher Clayton Richard's 2013 surgery and infielder Chris Getz's demotion to Toronto's minor league system leave only two former Wol- verines in Major League Baseball. Pitcher J.J. Putz (at Michigan from 1995-99), now a middle reliever with the Arizona Diamondbacks, stands 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA and three holds as of April 20. He has struck out eight against three walks and has given up only one run in seven innings pitched. Chicago White Sox pitcher Zach Putnam (2006-08) stood 0-0 with a 3.86 ERA, having pitched in one game. The right-hander allowed one run and three hits in 2 1 ⁄3 innings of a 12-0 loss to Texas April 18. ❏
