It was expected at some point Giancarlo Stanton would have to react to getting hit by a pitch.

Stanton was plunked in the hip by a Henderson Alvarez fastball during an intrasquad scrimmage Saturday. To his credit, Stanton said the errant pitch didn't bother him at all.

"Feels good," he said. "No thoughts, 100 percent fine. Didn't have one thought about it."

Rays reliever Ronald Bellsario, who will miss the start of the season with a fractured left shoulder which he suffered getting out of a swimming pool.

The Rays' president of baseball operations, Matt Silverman, announced Saturday that Belisario would not be able to throw "for several weeks" because of the injury to his non-pitching shoulder, which occurred at his home in Venezuela before he reported to spring training camp.

White Sox ace Chris Sale suffered a foot injury in an accident at his home and will miss at least three weeks of spring training, according to an ESPN.com report.

Sale suffered an avulsion fracture to the lateral side of his right foot Friday at his spring training residence in Arizona, but the pitcher declined to reveal how the injury happened.

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Sale landed "awkwardly when he got off the back of his truck," while unloading items.

Melvin Upton is expected to miss the rest of spring training because of inflammation in his left foot, according to the Atlanta Braves.

Upton was formerly known as B.J., but announced his intention to go by Melvin this winter.

His foot will be placed in a short leg cast for two weeks, then in a walking boot from four to six weeks. The Braves said he will likely be able to resume baseball activities in early April.

Michael Saunders stepped on a sprinkler while shagging fly balls Wednesday, tearing cartilage in his left knee and sidelining him until the All-Star break.

The Toronto Blue Jays said surgery is likely, but Saunders will seek a second opinion.

Saunders said he felt a pop after stepping on a sprinkler head while going for a ball at the team's training facility.

"I just tried to walk off the field and not draw any attention to myself, then when I got into the training room, my knee felt like it was getting tight on the inside," Saunders said. "I've never had any issues with my knees, so that's when I knew that something was wrong."

Adam Wainwright is being sent back to St. Louis to be examined by a doctor after his workout was cut short by abdominal pain on Tuesday.

John Mozeliak said he wasn't "overly concerned," given the ailment is unrelated to the pitcher's arm.

The Cardinals are scheduled to update the right-hander's status after he sees doctors.

Zack Greinke had a lubricating injection in his right elbow Thursday and is being held back from throwing bullpen sessions early in camp, according to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The right-hander had soreness in his elbow after the All-Star break last season and missed a start in July.

"It's pretty much been common in the spring since we've had him," Don Mattingly said. "He had thrown, like, five bullpens coming in and it's something he planned on doing."

Mets third baseman David Wright hit a career-low eight home runs last season and was shut down after a game on Sept. 8.

Wright believes the left shoulder woes that prompted that shutdown are behind him, although he acknowledged there is no guarantee until he tests the shoulder in Grapefruit League games.

"I guess you never truly know until you play games, but it's not something I'm worried about at all," Wright said Sunday at Mets camp.

The test for veteran Joey Votto will come once spring training officially starts for Reds position players. 

Votto is one of the Reds' main concerns heading into the first full-squad workout Tuesday. The first baseman played in only 62 games last season because of strained muscles above his left knee.

Orioles catcher Matt Wieters has a goal this spring. He wants to be ready to play on Opening Day in Tampa Bay.

Wieters underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last June 17, is already catching bullpen sessions at spring training.
