Kochanowicz (oblique) threw four scoreless innings with three strikeouts in his season debut for Single-A Inland Empire on Wednesday.
He missed two months with an oblique strain. Kochanowicz has a lot of lost time to make up for, as the big 6-foot-6 righty has only logged 87.1 pro innings after being a third-round pick in the 2019 Draft. This was a relatively soft landing spot, and the 21-year-old could get the bump to High-A in the coming weeks if he has continued success.
