Clifford Feels Much More Chipper

First baseman James Clifford came bouncing into the clubhouse Friday night with news that wouldn’t normally elicit so much excitement.

“They’re old bone chips!” Clifford said with Christmas-morning glee.

It meant the chips that showed up on an X-ray after Clifford was hit by a pitch Thursday night would not sideline him for as long as first feared. Clifford is now day to day.
