Quick Hits: Schwarber, Nathan, Lincecum, Capuano

By Jeff Todd | April 7, 2016 at 10:17pm CDT

Cubs catcher/outfielder Kyle Schwarber left today’s game after suffering an apparent left leg injury in an outfield collision with Dexter Fowler. He ended up being carted off of the field after medical personnel examined his knee and lower leg — including his ankle. It’s usually difficult to know the severity of an injury just from watching a review, and it’s certainly possible that Schwarber escaped serious harm, but the violent impact to a vulnerable area certainly did not look promising. Currently, there’s no news of even an initial assessment, so this remains a notable story to watch at present.

Here’s more from around the game:

  • Free agent righty Joe Nathan is working out on his home with intentions of a return at some point this year, Jon Heyman of MLB Network tweets. The 41-year-old is on his way back from Tommy John surgery and will also be looking to bounce back from some tough recent results, but he’s had success well into his late thirties.
  • Another familiar veteran righty working out privately is Tim Lincecum, who was reportedly planning a showcase that has yet to occur. While we await further news on that front, Dan Wade of the Hardball Times looks at the general prognosis for his attempt to rehab a hip labrum tear. In Wade’s analysis, it’s reasonable to think that the 31-year-old could return to being a back-of-the-rotation arm, though anything more may be wishful thinking.
  • Chris Capuano is set to earn a $1.5MM base salary with the Brewers after cracking the Opening Day roster as a minor league free agent, Heyman reports on Twitter. The southpaw can also take down as much as $1.25MM in incentives. Capuano, 37, will open in the pen but could also provide a swingman option as the season goes along.

    If that was it, he is very lucky! Fowler is even more lucky, because he went low. If not Fowler would be Destroyed in that collision.

    I’ve always found home repairs and remodeling a great way to rehab TJ surgery. Attaboy, Nathan.

      That home office won’t convert itself.

    Man, wasn’t Lincecum’s showcase supposed to happen in February?

    I wonder if Big Time Timmy Jim will ever pitch again.

      A few years ago who’d have thought he’d be 31 years old and temporarily out of baseball recovering from injuries, having been demoted to the pen due to ineffectiveness.

        I remember he rejected the 5/100 offer before the 2012 season, “settling” for 2/40. He was in the bullpen by the start of that title run. Maybe he’s secretly holding out for an injury to occur in San Fransisco. His peak came just before social media really blew up so his “star” power never really reached peak levels that you see now.

    I hope Nathan can come back and get some outs for someone for another year or two. For a few years there he was as good as it got… every bit as effective as Mariano.
