Injury Notes: Cespedes, Price, Rangers, Britton, Pederson

By Connor Byrne | April 23, 2017 at 9:53pm CDT

Yoenis Cespedes was out of the Mets’ lineup for the third straight game Sunday, leaving manager Terry Collins to acknowledge that the left fielder could head to the disabled list if his left hamstring issue doesn’t heal by Tuesday (via ESPN.com). “I think we’d need to take a look at that,” Collins said of a potential DL stint for Cespedes, who did tell the skipper he “felt a lot better” Sunday. Cespedes has mashed this season for the slow-starting Mets (.263/.377/.632 with six home runs in 69 plate appearances), but they’re nonetheless decently equipped to handle his short-term absence. Michael Conforto, Jay Bruce, Curtis Granderson and Juan Lagares give the Cespedes-less club a full complement of major league-caliber outfielders. (Update: Cespedes expects to return Tuesday, tweets Matt Ehalt of The Record.)

  • Red Sox left-hander David Price will throw a 45- to 50-pitch bullpen session Monday as he tries to work back from forearm trouble, per Ben Standing of MLB.com. Price still seems a ways off from making his 2017 debut, but a positive showing Monday would put him in position to face live hitters sometime soon. “Once we get through [Monday’s] work session and kind of begin to map out a little more of a structure on a calendar, I think we’re at that point [of facing batters],” said manager John Farrell. “Anytime you get to the number of pitches thrown that will be tomorrow, you can start to foresee a progression to hitters and ultimately to games, but we don’t have that in place right now.”
  • The Rangers continue to play it safe with third baseman Adrian Beltre in his recovery from a right calf strain, meaning he probably won’t debut until May, relays Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News. “I think we need to continue to rehab,” said manager Jeff Banister. “The conservative nature is probably in our best interest.” Meanwhile, after upper back spams slowed Tyson Ross’ comeback from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, the expectation is that the right-hander will resume throwing from a mound by the end of the upcoming week, Banister told George.
  • Orioles closer Zach Britton will see a hand specialist Monday, after which he could resume throwing, writes Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com. Britton went on the disabled list last Sunday with a forearm strain – a scary injury for a pitcher – but an MRI came back clean on Friday. The Orioles believe sending the ace reliever to a specialist will help prevent a forearm strain from rearing its head again in the future, Ghiroli notes.
  • Center fielder Joc Pederson left the Dodgers’ win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday with right groin tightness, and the likelihood is that he’ll miss some games, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. The Dodgers, already dealing with injuries to outfielders Andre Ethier and Franklin Gutierrez, will re-evaluate Pederson on Monday. A 25-plus-home run hitter in each of first two major league seasons, Pederson has gotten off to a sluggish start this year, with a .220/.322/.340 batting line and only one homer in 59 PAs.

    Personally and from past pitchers price will probably not throw more than 10-20 innings this year at best and I think it’s realistic to think that he won’t throw a single pitch this season. A lot of wear and tear in that elbow and may need to be fixed before he can pitch again, this also may have been a factor in his inflated ERA last year. Im not saying he will get TJ but I could see a plasma injection taking place and the Red Sox hope he can bounce back and start fresh next season

    Have they ever actually said what’s wrong with price?

      Ironically enough, that’s actually a really good question. From what I can recall, I don’t think they have ever officially came out and said Price is currently dealing with [said injury].

        I have monitored it pretty closely, but they’ve been vague, the only thing they have said is that it’s his elbow/forearm

          James kaprielian the pitching prospect of the Yankees originally had a flexor strain and he is now having tj surgery. Definitely something to worry about

      IIRC, he was experiencing forearm soreness in ST that was beyond what he usually encounters when ramping up for baseball activities.

    If Cespedes is heading for the DL, why was he on deck tonight to pinch hit when the game ended? That seems like an odd move if he’s heading to the DL

      It’s image management. Sorry Eric. This is cheap wilpon territory. Be vague. Promise the best case scenario not grounded in reality. Don’t tell the truth. Tough luck Mets fans.

          What’s wrong with selling some minor league tickets? Are you bank rolling the team? If not, I don’t think it’s your place to criticize how they make their money…
