I think the intent is being missed here by some. He’s not “behind” per se. He just has his own program, with input from Hottovy/trainers. Veteran guy, track record, doesn’t need a starter’s build-up, etc;
Morrow’s a different situation, but also on very individualized program.

Mike Olt and Kris Bryant crossed paths in the clubhouse this morning. It was a wrist injury to Olt, now a rep with Chandler bats, that led to Bryant's promotion to the Cubs.
