From Keith Jarrett of the Asheville Citizen-Times:

Colorado Rockies’ first baseman Todd Helton will do a rehab stint with Asheville in home games tonight and Friday night.

Helton, a five-time All-Star who last played here in 1995, is recovering from a lower back injury.

The Tourists did just fine on their own Wednesday night, powering 14 hits in a 13-10 win over Hagerstown.
