Large, 22, homered for the third consecutive game on Tuesday night in Bowling Green before departing the game in the fifth inning. He is batting .316 with five home runs in 27 games with the Nuts, posting an impressive .411 on-base percentage and .568 slugging percentage. This is the second stint on the Disabled List this year for Large, who was drafted in the fifth round in 2017 from the College of William and Mary.
