03/30/2015 MLB Note - Colorado Rockies Culberson, Charlie
INF Charlie Culberson, who has been sidelined with a bulging disk in
his lower back, played four innings in a minor league game March 26
and batted each inning, going 1-for-4. Two days later, Culberson
played in his first Cactus League game since March 8 and went
0-for-2. It's unlikely he'll win a spot on the Opening Day roster
and particularly if the Rockies decide to carry just one utility
infielder on their bench. That was Culberson's role last season when
he spent the entire season with the Rockies, except for one week in
April. In 95 games, Culberson filled in decently on defense but
batted .195 with 210 at-bats as he struggled to find any offensive
rhythm while playing sparingly.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - No MLB Team Free Agents Lindstrom, Matt
RHP Matt Lindstrom was released by the Angels on March 28. He was in
camp this spring on a minor league contract. Lindstrom, 35, posted a
2-2 record and 5.03 ERA in 34 innings last season for the White Sox.
This spring, he allowed seven earned runs in 5 2/3 innings.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Vazquez, Christian
C Christian Vazquez will meet with Dr. James Andrews on April 1
regarding his sore right elbow, multiple media outlets reported.
The results of the MRI exam on Vazquez's elbow on March 27 raised
sufficient concerns, manager John Farrell said the next day,
although he was vague about the findings. "I was not told
specifically what's going on there," Farrell said.
Vazquez, a 24-year-old who appeared to be making progress in his
throwing program, has not played in a game since March 13, when he
said he felt discomfort in his elbow. He caught in a minor league
game March 27, but he was instructed to throw only back to the
pitcher.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Detroit Tigers Verlander, Justin
RHP Justin Verlander is feeling better from the cramping in his
right triceps, Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said March 29.
Verlander played catch briefly March 29 for the first time since
leaving a spring training game two days earlier. Ausmus said
Verlander did some light tossing at the team's camp at Lakeland,
Fla., but he still felt "a little bit tight."
"He felt better today," Ausmus said. "Not completely better, but he
feels better than he did yesterday."
Verlander was tentatively scheduled to make his final spring start
April 2 against the Yankees. According to ESPN.com, the Tigers
remain unsure whether he will make it and have begun to consider
options to push back his first start of the season. He is currently
scheduled to start the Tigers' second game of the season, April 8.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Diego Padres Johnson, Josh
RHP Josh Johnson (Tommy John surgery in April 2014) underwent the
second elbow reconstruction of his career. He was throwing from the
mound in spring training, and he expects to be major-league-ready by
late May.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Los Angeles Dodgers Pederson, Joc
CF Joc Pederson, thanks to the December trade of Matt Kemp, is set
to become the Dodgers' everyday center fielder. Coming off the first
30-30 season in the Pacific Coast League since 1934, Pederson is
expected to stabilize the Dodgers' defense and help lengthen the
lineup offensively. He did nothing in spring training to cast doubts
on that. With a handful of exhibition games left, Pederson was
batting .373 (19-for-51) in Cactus League play with five home runs,
tied with Yasiel Puig for the team lead.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Los Angeles Dodgers Grandal, Yasmani
C Yasmani Grandal was the key player the Dodgers received back from
the San Diego Padres in the trade that sent former MVP runner-up
Matt Kemp south. The Dodgers think they got a young catcher with
tremendous upside offensively who might have been undervalued after
two difficult seasons with the Padres. Grandal served a 50-game
suspension for violating baseball's performance-enhancing drug
policy, then sustained a severe knee injury within a month of his
return. Grandal under reconstructive surgery and raced through his
rehab in time to open the 2014 season in the Padres' lineup. He hit
just .225, and his defensive skills eroded as a result, but the
Dodgers expect much more from a fully recovered Grandal.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Los Angeles Dodgers Uribe, Juan
3B Juan Uribe had a career renaissance the past two seasons, batting
a career high .311 in 2014. At age 36, however, Uribe is not likely
to give the Dodgers a repeat performance in 2015. Even last year,
Uribe's hamstrings limited him to 103 games. One of three Dodgers
starting infielders in the final year of his contract, Uribe had a
rough spring, and he could lose playing time this year to Justin
Turner and Alex Guerrero, both of whom got off to hot spring starts.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Los Angeles Dodgers League, Brandon
RHP Brandon League experienced renewed discomfort in his right
shoulder when he tried throwing a bullpen in late March. Earlier in
the spring, League got a cortisone injection. This time, he had a
contrast MRI exam that was examined by both Dr. Neal ElAttrache and
Dr. James Andrews. The consensus was to take a conservative route of
rest and rehabilitation, but League is expected to miss eight weeks
or more. He won't pick up a ball again before late April.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Los Angeles Dodgers Olivera, Hector
INF Hector Olivera agreed to a six-year, $62.5 million deal with the
Dodgers. The 29-year-old Cuban was sought by the San Diego Padres,
Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees as well. The deal was not
official, however, and it could be complicated. Olivera had not
passed a physical, and there were reports that he might have a torn
ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow that would require
Tommy John surgery. However, the Dodgers don't really need Olivera
this year. He could slide in at second or third base in 2016 with
the current starters at those positions (Howie Kendrick and Juan
Uribe) in the final year of their contracts.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Los Angeles Dodgers Gonzalez, Adrian
1B Adrian Gonzalez led the majors in RBIs last season. Gonzalez was
particularly prone to the increased use of defensive shifts and hit
a career-low .276 in 2014, but he remains one of the best
run-producers in baseball. Only he and Miguel Cabrera have reached
100 RBIs in seven of the past eight seasons.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Los Angeles Dodgers Puig, Yasiel
RF Yasiel Puig needs to smooth out the rough edges in his offensive
game. Puig was the starting right fielder in last year's All-Star
Game but went for long stretches last season playing well below that
level. The Dodgers will need the All-Star Puig to show up on a more
consistent basis in 2015.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Los Angeles Dodgers Guerrero, Alex
INF/OF Alex Guerrero spent most of last season in the minors after
signing with the Dodgers out of Cuba. His four-year, $28 million
contract included a provision allowing him to refuse any minor
league assignment this season, tying the Dodgers' hands somewhat.
However, Guerrero had a good spring and could be a useful bat off
the bench -- though his defense at any of four positions is average
or below.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Arizona Diamondbacks Ahmed, Nick
INF Nick Ahmed has made a strong push for the starting shortstop job
in spring training, and the D-backs had not made a decision entering
the final week of camp. "(Ahmed) has impressed us," D-backs manager
Chip Hale said. "We are very excited about his play at shortstop,
and with the bat." The D-backs have changed the position of Ahmed's
hands at the plate, shortening his swing, and he has six doubles and
three RBIs this spring. If he starts, Chris Owings would move to
second base. If not, Owings would play shortstop, veteran Aaron Hill
would start at second and Ahmed would be sent out because they have
said they want him to play every day.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Arizona Diamondbacks Pollock, A.J.
CF A.J. Pollock appears to be on the verge of a breakout season, and
all that seems to stand in the way is health. He has made a steady
progression. Pollock made the team in 2013 because of spring
injuries and played so well -- 28 doubles, eight homers, 38 RBIs --
that he stayed the whole season. He was hitting .316 with 16
doubles, six homers and eight stolen bases the first two months of
last season before suffering a broken hand when he was hit by a
Johnny Cueto pitch on May 31. He is the D-backs' best defensive
outfielder and will play almost every day.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Arizona Diamondbacks Hill, Aaron
2B Aaron Hill appeared to lose a little range last season, prompting
the veteran to return to the offseason training regimen that served
him well for many years in Toronto and Arizona. He lost about 10
pounds. Hill had a productive season at the plate in 2014, with 26
doubles, 10 homers and 60 RBIs, but he could lose time to younger
middle infielders Chris Owings and Nick Ahmed. The D-backs have said
Owings will start at one middle infield spot, and he spent the final
month of 2014 at second base.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Arizona Diamondbacks Reed, Addison
RHP Addison Reed, delayed in spring training, because of right
shoulder soreness during pre-camp throwing, made three appearances
in the final week and appears on track for the season opener April
6. Reed, who had 32 saves last season, has returned to a delivery he
used in previous seasons, when he landed with his left leg about six
inches closer to the first base side of the mound as he released the
ball. He landed more toward the third base side last season. "It
felt a lot smoother. To me, it was an easy fix. I feel like I caught
onto it quick, and everything felt great," Reed said.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Arizona Diamondbacks Anderson, Chase
RHP Chase Anderson won nine games last season, tied for the NL high
among rookies with the Mets' Jacob de Grom, and has a 1.84 ERA in
four spring training appearances, but he is fighting with RHP Daniel
Hudson and RHP Trevor Cahill for the final two rotation spots. "I
feel like I'm right on track," Anderson said. "Whatever happens,
happens. I feel good and I'm ready to go. I feel like I've pitched
well, but they are out there making the decisions. I'm out there
doing my job trying to help the team win. That's all I'm focused
on."
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Arizona Diamondbacks Corbin, Patrick
LHP Patrick Corbin, a 2013 All-Star, threw a 20-pitch bullpen
session March 24, the first time he had thrown off a mound since
undergoing Tommy John surgery almost exactly a year before. "It felt
really good," Corbin said. "I felt my mechanics were on today, my
balance felt great." Corbin said he threw at about 80 percent, and
will probably wait until his fourth or fifth bullpen to try to throw
at full velocity. The D-backs are planning on a June return if all
goes well.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Arizona Diamondbacks Hernandez, David
RHP David Hernandez threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on March 24,
the first time he had thrown off a mound after undergoing Tommy John
surgery April 1, 2014. "It's just a big relief," Hernandez said, "to
put in all that time and work. So many people to thank, especially
the training staff. There are certain days you feel like you are
bugging them, the process is so long. I can't those guys enough."
Hernandez is hoping to return in May.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Diego Padres Gustave, Jandel
RHP Jandel Gustave is a long shot to made San Diego's Opening Day
roster. A Rule 5 pick who has electric stuff but has not pitched
above Class A, Gustave was claimed off waivers by the Padres in the
penultimate week of spring traing. He went 1-0 with a 3.68 ERA in
five spring appearances for Kansas City, striking out six and
walking three in 7 1/3 innings before he was acquired by San Diego.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Colorado Rockies Gray, Jonathan
RHP Jon Gray suffered shoulder fatigue last year at Double-A Tulsa
in his first full professional season and was shut down Aug. 20. His
velocity dipped last year, but he has repeatedly reached 97 mph this
spring and has plus command for someone who throws that hard. Gray
now knows what to expect as far as the rigors of a full season. His
alignment suffered last year, which affected his slider more than
his changeup. But with an on-line delivery this spring, Gray's
slider is again a weapon and both offspeed offerings have a chance
to be above average pitches. Gray, who has yet to pitch above
Double-A, is vying for a spot in the Opening Day rotation.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Colorado Rockies Gonzalez, Carlos
RF Carlos Gonzalez is coming off a miserable season that saw him set
career-lows in games played (70) and batting average .237 and finish
with a paltry .723 OPS. The only time he has played more than 140
games was back in 2010 when he played a career-high 145 games. But
he has played a mere 180 games in the past two seasons. Gonzalez
underwent exploratory surgery on June 10 on his left index finger in
which a benign tumor was removed. He was activated July 11 but never
was able to get in much of a groove, because his chronically sore
left knee began to bother him. Gonzalez played just 17 games after
June 3 and played his final game of the 2014 season on Aug. 8 before
surgery to repair the tendinitis in his left patella tendon on Aug.
18. He is playing at about 210 pounds this season, down from 235
after being more diligent than ever about his body and his
conditioning. A healthy left knee enables the left-handed hitting
Gonzalez to put weight on his back leg, which he was unable to do
most of last year, and drive the ball. There's no doubt about his
talent. Gonzalez won a batting title, three Gold Gloves and has
twice been an All-Star. He was an elite player when healthy and
should be so again.
-----------------------------------------------
[to top of second column] |
MLB Note - San Diego Padres Middlebrooks, Will
3B Will Middlebrooks is coming off two injury-plagued seasons that
saw the one-time Red Sox top prospect morph into a suspect. However,
Middlebrooks had an outstanding spring with the bat and in the field
-- looking more like the player who hit .288 with 15 homers and 54
RBIs in 75 games as a rookie in 2012 rather than the .213 hitter of
the past two seasons.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Colorado Rockies Blackmon, Charlie
CF Charlie Blackmon, the primary leadoff hitter last year, hit
.288/.335/.440 with 19 homers and 72 RBIs thanks to six torrid weeks
to begin the season. In his first 37 games, Blackmon hit
.355/.388/.603 with eight homers and 28 RBIs and averaged one
strikeout every 10.8 at-bats. After that 37-game spree, Blackmon hit
.268/.318/.389 with 11 homers and 44 RBIs in his final 117 games
with one strikeout every 5.4 at-bats. The 154 games Blackmon, 28,
played last year are three more than he played in his three previous
seasons combined. Blackmon gained valuable experience and is in his
prime, so there's no reason he can't have a solid season. But it's
unlikely to be buoyed by a beginning like last year and, hence,
somewhat more pedestrian.
----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Colorado Rockies Kahnle, Tommy
RHP Tommy Kahnle, 25, was optioned to minor league camp March 25,
putting him in line to open the season at Triple-A Albuquerque.
After never pitching above the Double-A level, Kahnle was selected
from the Yankees in the 2013 Rule 5 draft. He lived up to the
scouting report that said he had a good fastball and command that
could be iffy and threw a better-than-advertised changeup. Kahnle
pitched in 54 games for the Rockies last year and went 2-1 with a
4.19 ERA, allowing 51 hits in 68 2/3 innings with 31 walks and 63
strikeouts.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Colorado Rockies Hale, David
RHP David Hale, who was scheduled to start March 26 and continue his
bid for a spot in the Opening Day rotation, was scratched from that
start and placed on total rest for a few days with a left oblique
strain. Hale said he suffered the injury during his March 21 start
against the Indians when he extended too far on one pitch. He
allowed five hits and four runs, one earned, in 2 1/3 innings and
threw all 17 pitches for strikes.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Diego Padres Venable, Will
OF Will Venable was the Padres' MVP in 2013 when he hit .268 with 22
homers, 53 RBIs and 22 steals. However, he tumbled to .224 last
season with eight homers and 33 RBIs. As one of the few left-handed
hitters on the roster -- and maybe the only one at times on the
bench -- Venable looks to make the Opening Day roster as the fourth
outfielder. Even so, he was hitting only .214 this spring through
March 29.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Colorado Rockies Brothers, Rex
LHP Rex Brothers seemed to have put his dismal 2014 behind him and
regained his 2013 form but that changed in his past two spring
games. In 2013, Brothers had a 1.74 ERA in 72 games and seemed to
position himself as the Rockies closer of the future when he
converted 19 of 21 save opportunities when Rafael Betancourt was
injured. There were concerns about Brothers' command and knowing
Betancourt would miss the entire 2014 season, the Rockies signed
veteran LaTroy Hawkins to close. Indeed, Hawkins said he was just a
place-holder until Brothers was ready to assume the closer's role.
But Brothers regressed last year with a 5.59 ERA in 74 games. This
spring, Brothers had a 1.80 ERA after five games, giving up one run
and two hits in five innings with one walk and five strikeouts. But
in two bad outings March 26 and March 28, Brothers worked a total of
1 2/3 innings and allowed five hits and six runs with two walks, two
strikeouts and one hit batter to raise his spring ERA to 9.45.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Diego Padres Norris, Derek
C Derek Norris had a 7-for-10 run to snap out of a 2-for-31 start to
spring training. Norris also made three straight starts behind the
plate and four in five days in late March. "He's had a lot on his
plate," Padres manager bud Black said of Norris, who was an American
League All-Star for Oakland last year.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Colorado Rockies De La Rosa, Jorge
LHP Jorge De La Rosa will begin the season on the disabled list with
left groin tightness, a recurring issue that limited him to just 2
1/3 innings this spring. That move hasn't officially been made, but
it's a foregone conclusion. De La Rosa was scheduled to pitch
Colorado's home opener on April 10 against the Cubs. His Cactus
League debut was delayed twice due to his strained groin. He pitched
without incident in a 'B' game before making his Cactus League debut
March 20 and leaving after aggravating the groin. De La Rosa, who
turns 34 on April 5 and signed a two-year, $25 million contract
extension in September, has dealt with groin issues throughout his
career and particularly during spring training.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Diego Padres Morrow, Brandon
RHPs Brandon Morrow and Odrisamer Despaigne likely won't know who
won the battle for the No. 5 spot in the Padres' rotation until
after the club leaves Arizona. Both will start March 31, with one
working in the major league game and the other in a minor league
game. Morrow missed his last start with a blister on the ring finger
of his throwing hand that manager Bud Black said affected his
previous start.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Colorado Rockies Rosario, Wilin
C/1B Wilin Rosario, barring a trade, seems destined to make the
Opening Day roster as a right-handed power bat whose roles will
include being the third catcher, back-up first baseman or a pinch
hitter. Regardless of where or whether he's in the lineup, manager
Walt Weiss knows that in Rosario, he has a player who can change a
game with one swing and will never be overlooked. "As a manager, I
know the opposing manager is looking at our lineup card, and he's
worried about that bat, regardless where it's at," manager Walt
Weiss said of Rosario. "Whether it's catching that day or he's at
first base that day or he's on the bench that day, (the opposing
manager) has got to envision an at-bat late in the game and how he's
going to neutralize that guy."
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Diego Padres Despaigne, Odrisamer
RHPs Odrisamer Despaigne and Brandon Morrow likely won't know who
won the battle for the No. 5 spot in the Padres' rotation until
after the club leaves Arizona. Both will start March 31, with one
working in the major league game and the other in a minor league
game. Morrow missed his last start with a blister on the ring finger
of his throwing hand that manager Bud Black said affected his
previous start.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Colorado Rockies Descalso, Daniel
INF Daniel Descalso, who has been dealing with a right oblique
strain, took a step forward March 26 when he played four innings in
a minor league game and batted in every inning, going 2-for-4. Two
days later, Descalso played in his first Cactus League game since
March 14 and 1-for-3. He is expected to be ready to start the season
and is scheduled to be the Rockies primary utility infielder. They
signed him to a two-year, $3.6 million contract after he became a
free agent when the Cardinals did not tender him a contract.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Diego Padres Myers, Wil
OF Wil Myers moved from center field to first base midway through
the March 29 exhibition game, and manager Bud Black said Myers might
see more time at first base. The backup to Yonder Alonso at first
base could impact the battle between Tommy Medica, Carlos Quentin
and Cameron Maybin for the final spot on the bench. Maybin doesn't
play first, and Quentin never played first until two games this
spring. "Wil has been taking ground balls at first each morning,"
Black said.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Diego Padres Luebke, Cory
LHP Cory Luebke (Tommy John surgery in February 2014) threw a
bullpen session for the first time this spring March 29 as he
continues his comeback from a second elbow reconstruction operation.
He hasn't pitched in a major league game since the first month of
the 2012 season. If all goes well, he could be back by early June.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Francisco Giants Heston, Chris
RHP Chris Heston will not be in the Giants' starting rotation to
begin the season. He's not even likely to be first or second in line
if there are early issues with the aging quintet. But the
26-year-old, who did beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in a late-spring
game, almost surely will be the club's most dependable pitcher at
Triple-A (he went 12-9 there with a 3.38 ERA last season), which
means it's close to a lock he will get a shot with the big club at
some point. That's more than you can say about pretty much any other
rookie in the organization.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Francisco Giants Petit, Yusmeiro
RHP Yusmeiro Petit pitched well enough as a starter in 2014 to be a
serious candidate for a spot in this year's starting rotation. The
problem was: He pitched even better out of the bullpen, and that's
where Giants manager Bruce Bochy considers him most valuable. While
most observers fear ace LHP Madison Bumgarner might get overworked
this season, Petit actually is a greater possibility for overuse.
After all, while Bumgarner likely will pitch just once every five
games, Petit is a candidate to get used in any of the other four.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Francisco Giants Cain, Matt
RHP Matt Cain had an excuse for his disastrous half-season in 2014.
Elbow and ankle pain eventually resulted in a pair of surgeries
after the plug was pulled on a 2-7 season with a 4.18 ERA. Those
expecting the 30-year-old to bounce back this season conveniently
are forgetting Cain had no such excuses in 2013, when he was nearly
as bad (8-10, 4.00 ERA) as he was last season. It's been a long time
since Cain was that 16-game winner with a 2.79 ERA. More likely, the
last two seasons are a better reflection of who he is today.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Francisco Giants Sanchez, Hector
C Hector Sanchez returned to the Giants this spring as a catcher
after some had suggested he retire his gear because of concussion
issues. Seems he made the right call. Sanchez kept a clear head and
beat out C Andrew Susac for the backup position behind C Buster
Posey. A healthy Sanchez was seen to have two advantages over Susac:
he has much more experience, and he's a switch-hitter, giving Giants
manager Bruce Bochy a left-handed option when he moves Posey out
from behind the plate. Susac's .227 spring average helped make the
decision easier as well.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Francisco Giants Strickland, Hunter
RHP Hunter Strickland made quite an impression on the Giants last
season in a very short period of time. But it seems his propensity
to give up home runs in the postseason outweighed the impressiveness
of his close-to-100-mph fastball, and he was sent to Triple-A to
start the season. Despite a 6.10 ERA in the spring, he advised to
keep his cell phone close by, as Bochy loves to shuttle relievers
from minors to majors, and vice versa.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - San Francisco Giants Maxwell, Justin
OF Justin Maxwell got the nod over the more experienced OF Juan
Perez when the Giants made their initial cut to five outfielders on
March 29. The reason: Perez is much like the club's third and fourth
outfielders, OF Nori Aoki and OF Gregor Blanco. The powerful
Maxwell, whose 10 RBIs led the team through March 28, is more
similar to the departed Michael Morse. Bochy might not like his
defense, but that's why Blanco is around.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - Texas Rangers Freeman, Sam
LHP Sam Freeman was acquired by the Rangers from the Cardinals on
March 28 in exchange for a player to be named or cash. Freeman was
2-0 with a 2.61 ERA in 38 innings spanning 44 appearances for the
Cardinals last season. In 81 career games, the 27-year-old is 3-2
with a 3.33 ERA.
"He has a very good arm," Texas GM Jon Daniels said. "He has a
fastball, split, slider mix and has had some success with the
Cardinals. He actually does better against righties than lefties, so
he isn't a matchup guy."
Freeman has two seasons remaining before he is arbitration eligible.
He was competing with Kevin Siegrist and Randy Choate with the
Cardinals this spring, and he had issued five walks in five innings.
-----------------------------------------------
MLB Note - New York Yankees Gregorius, Didi
SS Didi Gregorius will sit out a couple of day after spraining his
left wrist while diving for a ground ball March 28 against the
Orioles. Gregorius was hurt in the fifth inning, and he left to get
X-rays, which were negative. Manager Joe Girardi told YES Network
that Gregorius would not play March 29-30, with the hope that he can
return March 31. Gregorius, acquired from the Diamondbacks in
December, was hitting .300 (12-for-40) with four doubles, two
triples and six RBIs this spring.
