Velasquez shut down (until Monday)

Zach Levine reports that 2nd Round pick Vincent Velasquez has been shut down after a previous injury forced him to leave his last start early:

Velasquez had scar tissue from a previous injury in his arm break loose, forcing him to leave his start for rookie-level Greeneville. Bennett said Velasquez had no ligament or flexor-tendon damage but will be shut down until Monday when he sees team physician Dr. Thomas Mehlhoff.
