NL West Injury Notes: Parra, Maeda, Cain, Ross

By Jeff Todd | June 15, 2016 at 12:03am CDT

Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra was removed from tonight’s game on a medical cart after suffering an apparent leg injury, as MLB.com’s Thomas Harding reports. The injury occurred in a scary collision with shortstop Trevor Story, who wasn’t hurt. Parra’s outlook appears to be better than feared, as manager Walt Weiss told reporters that the preliminary diagnosis was a sprained ankle. (Via Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post; Twitter link.) His reaction to the impact suggested a more serious injury, but hopefully nothing more is revealed over the coming days.

Here’s the latest from other injury situations in the NL West:

  • The Dodgers got fairly promising preliminary news on righty Kenta Maeda, who exited his outing tonight after being struck by a sharply-hit ball in his right leg. The club announced that X-rays were negative, though certainly Maeda will need additional evaluation after he needed help to make it off of the field. Los Angeles will hope that it’s not a significant problem, as Maeda has been the club’s most productive starter outside of ace Clayton Kershaw.
  • Giants righty Matt Cain is headed back to the DL with a re-aggravation of his hamstring strain, as Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area was among those to tweet. San Francisco will recall Chris Stratton for the time being, but the move raises yet more questions about the back of the rotation. Cain is still just 31, but it’s far from clear whether he’ll be a reliable member of the Giants’ staff this year or beyond. In 118 innings over the past two seasons, he has managed only a 5.57 ERA as he has dealt with a growing list of injury troubles.
  • Padres righty Tyson Ross may be ready to throw off of a mound this weekend, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports on Twitter. It’s still unclear whether he’ll be able to ramp up in time to make himself into a real deadline chip for the Pads. Regardless, it’s certainly promising to hear that Ross is still progressing.

      Steve did one today (well, yesterday, I guess). I’ll do one Thursday. Wasn’t able to last week b/c I’m in the middle of moving.

    Looked like Maeda got a little leather on that come backer.and very possibly saved himself a broken leg.

    Matt Cain is a true gentleman and plays the game the right way. No showboating, no arrogance, just plays.
    After he threw his perfect game I was staying in the same hotel as him and while I’m usually too shy to talk to famous people I couldn’t help but say “hey Matt I just want to say congratulations on your perfect game”. Instead of just staying “thanks” and letting it go he stuck out his hand and said “thank you so much” and shook my hand. A lot of people are germophobes and won’t shake strangers hands but he offered his up and just made a this fan a fan for life and that small act showed me that what you see from Cain on the field is what you get off the field.
    I truly hope he continues his career and continues to fight because the game needs gentlemen like him and as strange as it seems, there are a lot of players that would never have the politeness of Cain and many that do.. I want the good guys like him to be the role models for our kids.
