Rehab Rundown
Posted: April 13th, 2011, 12:59 pm
A lot of us drafted injured players knowing we would have to wait for them to retrurn. Others have been hit early with injuries. Thought it might be a good time to check in with some of the rehab news. In shallower leagues it is possible a couple of these names (esp the P's) might be sitting on your WW. Any other news anyone else has - feel free to share.
-Grady Sizemore is progressing in his rehab and is on track to rejoin the Indians sometime next week. Michael Brantley, who has been manning CF while Sizemore has been out will slide over to LF and send Austin Kearns back to the bench.
-SF OF Andres Torres will apparently avoid the D.L. and could be back in the lineup this weekend.
-1B Kendrys Morales is progressing in his rehab, running on the fiels for the first time since early March. He seems on track in his rehab and we may get a firmer timetable later this week.
-Mets OF Jason Bay is still at least 2 weeks away in returning from his rib cage strain.
-Twins 2B Tsuyoshi Nishioka was walking and playing catch without crutches, which is good news. However, he is still weeks away due to his leg fracture. Still, he looks like he will make it back sooner than expected and is worth stashing for now it would seem.
-Evan Longoria hasn't had any setbacks in his rehab and is still on track to return from his oblique strain at the end of the month.
-Oriole SP Brian Matusz threw without pain from 60 feet on Monday. He could join the team sometime next week to continue his rehab, but looks like he will be ready to go when May rolls around.
-Reds SP Homer Bailey is scheduled to make two rehab starts starting this weekend. If he doesn't have any setbacks he could be back before the end of the month.
-OF Corey Hart hopes to go out on a Minor League rehab stint and return to the Brewers on April 22nd.
-Andrew Bailey has been playing long-toss and appears close to heading out for his own rehab assignment. Brian Fuentes will continue to close while he is out.
-Franklin Guttierez has lost 15 lbs. with his still undiagnosed stomach ailment. He could go on a rehab stint soon, but you have to wonder how long it will take him to build up strength again.
