Injury Notes: Canning, Snell, Robles

By TC Zencka | February 29, 2020 at 6:13pm CDT

Griffin Canning’s ongoing health concerns will remain nebulous until tomorrow at the earliest. The message from Angels manager Joe Maddon certainly paints the situation as unusual, per The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya (via Twitter). Whether there’s mixed messaging coming from the medical staff themselves, or if this particular injury is causing undue confusion isn’t totally clear from Joe’s comments. What is clear is that the next step is assessing how Canning reacts to his throwing session today. Canning is one of the wild cards in the Angels’ rotation, and it’d certainly be disappointing to begin the season with a significant setback. An update is likely to come tomorrow from Angels camp. In the meantime, let’s check in on some less serious injury news around the game…

  • Rays ace Blake Snell received a cortisone shot in his “outer elbow,” tweets Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. He is expected to resume throwing as early as Tuesday. As important as Snell is to the Rays’ rotation, they also have admirable depth there with young players like Brendan McKay, Brent Honeywell Jr. and Anthony Banda likely on the outside looking in at this stage. Still, Topkin notes that the Rays are not worried about the southpaw’s health. Snell is coming off an injury-shortened season in which he made just 23 starts, pitching to a 4.29 ERA/3.32 FIP. The ERA ended up higher than expected, but the peripherals point to Snell being close to the same guy who won the Cy Young award in 2018, albeit with less BABIP luck.
  • Washington Nationals centerfield Victor Robles underwent an MRI on his left oblique recently. Nats fans can breath easy as the results came back negative, per MLB.com’s Jessica Camerato. Robles is already back in the cage, but the plan is to remain cautious for the time being. Given Robles’ importance to the Nats, it certainly makes sense to take their time with him this early in spring. The Nationals don’t have a ton of depth behind Robles, with Michael A. Taylor serving as his primary backup. While Taylor is an above-average defensive outfielder, his struggles at the plate led him to spend most of the 2019 season in Double-A.

    If Canning had a throwing session today, maybe it’s not as bad as it sounded, meaning no TJ possibly. If there’s no tear, maybe a PRP injection and chill for 3 months and see how he’s doing at the ASB. Looks like we’ll know tomorrow.

        Sorry, I was off topic. Back to tomatoes: I always have avocado on my BLT and we use english muffins instead of bread.

      Harold Reynolds talking about trading Jo Adell for an ace, I’ll trade Brandon Marsh for pitching , but so far I like what I am seeing from Dylan Bundy in spring, Let’s see if Callaway can fix him.

    Stripling would have looked good in Anaheim this season. That’s was a dumb move they will probably come back to haunt them.

      When a trade is discussed, both teams have to really want to make the deal. After waiting a week for the Red Sox to get their s*** together, that changed. Not just for the Angels. The Dodgers need that depth just much as the Angels do, especially when they were originally getting almost nothing in return.

    Red Sox ownership John Henry and Werner are NOT committed to winning. Nor do they show any loyalty too players who produce. . Mookie Betts trade just magnified that, he produced for years and his support for the community went above what is expected . They should have inked him up YEARS Ago . But they Low balled him and ticket him off. Ownership has no one to Blame but themselves . in addition what they received back for Betts was a JOKE and shameful
