"Slumping Slugger Sent Back Down: Former American League Rookie of the Year Struggles in Big Leagues. In a move that has left fans and analysts alike scratching their heads, a highly touted baseball star has been demoted to the minor leagues in search of a spark. The 26-year-old phenom, who burst onto the scene with a record-breaking season just a few years ago, has seen his production dwindle significantly this season, prompting the team to send him back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for some much-needed seasoning. Will a stint in the minors be enough to get this talented player back on track, or is it a sign of a more serious issue?"
The former AL Rookie of the Year was optioned back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on April 26.
