The Miami Marlins are being cautious with veteran right-hander Johnny Cueto, who is dealing with arm soreness just over a week before the start of the regular season.įirst-year manager Skip Schumaker didn’t seem concerned Tuesday when explaining why Cueto didn’t do his scheduled work on a back field the previous day.
“We’re throwing everything back into the pool and we’re going to start to figure out what to do.
“We’ve got to have our conversation and just watch these guys play. The Diamondbacks also still have Jose Herrera, their backup last season, and P.J. He made his big league debut last season hitting. Gabriel Moreno, the 23-year-old catcher the Diamondbacks acquired in a trade with Toronto during the offseason, could now become their starter. “I always hope for a miracle and that there’s going to be an unbelievable recovery,” Lovullo said a day after Kelly got struck by a pitch from Chicago White Sox right-hander Gregory Santos. Kelly will likely miss several months, though manager Torey Lovullo wasn’t ready to discuss a potential timeline for the catcher’s return when announcing the diagnosis Tuesday. The Arizona Diamondbacks will go into the season without catcher Carson Kelly, who has a broken bone in his right forearm after getting hit by a pitch in a Cactus League game.
“But I’m also going to keep the option open that we’ll see what happens.” “All I've said, and all I'll continue to say, it’ll be before the All-Star break is our hope,” Dombrowski said. He had a platelet-rich plasma injection on his elbow in May and became a full-time designated hitter to finish the season, helping lead the Phillies to their first World Series appearance since 2009.ĭombrowski said Harper, who for now is still hitting soft toss in the batting cages every other day, is feeling great and has no pain. Going into the fifth season of a $330 million, 13-year contract with the Phillies, Harper hasn’t played right field since last April 16. “So it’s really not a great revelation other than to just say the reality is, I’m going to just keep our options open, because who knows what happens,” Dombrowski said. Dombrowski said the timetable hasn't really changed, and that the Phillies could still use the 60-day IL if they need to open a spot on the 40-man roster and know then Harper wouldn't be back before the end of May.
