Angel Salome is back in action and reporting to AA Huntsville. So much for being called a "Lazy" player, huh.

Prospect Salome back from personal issues
MIAMI -- Brewers catching prospect Angel Salome is back in action after a hiatus of nearly six weeks during which he addressed some personal problems.
Salome was reinstated from Triple-A Nashville's disabled list on Tuesday, and instead of returning to Nashville, he was assigned to Double-A Huntsville. The catcher has not played since April 17, when he left to attend the birth of a child and never returned. Brewers officials later said Salome needed a break from baseball to deal with mental issues, and he had been working out at the team's extended spring training program in Phoenix.
"We just want him to get started [at Huntsville] because he hasn't played in a while," Melvin said. "Let him play there for a while. He and [Huntsville manager] Mike Guerrero have a past, an understanding. [Salome] said he was fine with that."
Salome could remain at Huntsville for a couple of weeks before a promotion to Nashville. His hiatus probably cost Salome a promotion to the Major Leagues on May 21, when the Brewers instead called up Jonathan Lucroy to replace an injured Gregg Zaun.
