Ryan Ritter Injury: Swelling down

Ritter (finger) has had two of the three stitches in his finger removed, MLB.com reports.

Ritter suffered a significant cut to his finger July 20, which required stitches. In addition to the removal of most of his stitches, the swelling associated with the injury has also subsided. Ritter still appears several days away from returning, as he has yet to resume swinging a bat.
