But the transition has happened sooner than expected, I think. Jonathan, I'd advise patience with Ojala -- it's just good to see him back on the mound. He has made a very quick recovery, and it might take him a bit of time to round into shape.

Came in after an IBB put runners on 1st and 2nd w/none out. Ojala went HBP, BB (run), WP (run), PB (run), sac fly (run), BB, before he was yanked.

Looks like the Owls need to be concerned now...
