Jaden Noot will be able to return from Tommy John surgery and pitch for the Tigers in April, Johnson said on Monday. "Jaden threw a competitive bullpen on the field on Thursday night at Mississippi State," Johnson said. "And that was very positive."

Johnson also said on Monday that right-handed pitcher Chase Shores is two months behind Noot in his recovery process from the same surgery. Johnson had revealed on March 5 that Shores underwent Tommy John two months after Noot had his procedure. "We're not to the point in the calendar where we can move (Shores' timeline) up yet," Johnson said.

Ethan Frey, who suffered an upper-body injury last weekend against Xavier, hit in batting practice on Saturday and Sunday and is feeling better since suffering the ailment, Johnson said. But Johnson added that he is "not quite sure yet" of when he'll be available to play again.
