“I’m just going back down to Norfolk, I’ll meet those guys I guess on Tuesday.

“He told me to go down there and find my swing again. Hopefully I’ll just go down there and do what I was doing before and get things going again. Just be ready when they are ready for me to come back, that’s all.”

“He told me to go down there and find my swing again. Hopefully I’ll just go down there and do what I was doing before and get things going again. Just be ready when they are ready for me to come back, that’s all.”

Hughes was batting .213-0-4 in 14 O’s games.

After going 5 for 13 with 3 RBI in his first three games, Hughes was just 5 for 34 since.

“Of course, it’s disappointing. But it’s okay. Like I said I’ll just go and try to do what I was doing before. I just had a rough spot, I wasn’t doing some things I was doing before and I just need to get back to that.”
