Returning to Sioux Falls

Ex-Rattler Trevor Lawhorn is slated to play for the Sioux Falls Canaries of the American Association next season.

Infielder Trevor Lawhorn today signed a contract to return to the Sioux Falls Canaries in 2009. While playing for the Canaries in 2007, Lawhorn was twice signed by Major League Organizations.

Lawhorn had hit .286 with four home runs and 10 RBI in the first 13 games of the 2007 season, when the Seattle Mariners grabbed him to fill a hole created by injury. After the Mariners injury problems subsided, Lawhorn was released and returned to the Canaries. Trevor’s second stint in a Canaries’ uniform lasted just 17 games, and saw him hit .319 with four homers and 14 RBI before getting signed by the Washington Nationals.

Lawhorn hit three homers in 29 games for the Timber Rattlers in 2007.
