Coghlan To Deal With Shoulder Injury All Season

Oct 5, 2014 7:05 PM

Marlins center fielder Chris Coghlan is dealing with a strained right shoulder. He missed his first game of the season on Friday night and said he had an MRI performed Thursday before the Marlins left for a seven-game road trip and there was "no structural damage." Coghlan will have to deal with the pain the rest of the season as the injury will not fully heal until he's able to rest it significantly. He didn't want to speculate over having surgery, but it's likely he will need it after the season.

Greinke Could Make Brewers Debut May 4

Sep 22, 2014 1:10 PM

Brewers right-hander Zack Greinke threw 75 pitches in his rehab assignment for Triple-A Nashville on Friday and is on schedule to make his Brewers debut. His first start for Milwaukee will likely come on May 4 against Atlanta. "I know he's looking forward to this being his last one there," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said prior to Friday's game. "To get up and down is what's important. I hope he doesn't run through his pitch count to where he's not getting up and down a lot. "But he feels good. He was a little disappointed in his offspeed stuff the last time, so hopefully he'll get that on track."

Dice-K Leaves With Injury, Red Sox Lose To M's

Sep 4, 2014 1:08 PM

The Red Sox had two pitchers to be concerned about after Friday night’s loss to the Mariners, according to a Yahoo! Sports report. Daisuke Matsuzaka left in the fifth inning with elbow tightness after his velocity fell off from the start of the game. The injury doesn’t appear serious, but he will be checked out more on Saturday. “I think we think he’s going to be OK for his next start,” manager Terry Francona said. Bobby Jenks entered in the seventh to protect a lead and couldn’t do it. The struggling reliever gave up two runs and three hits, leaving Boston with its third loss in four games.

Hughes To See Expert On Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Oct 31, 2014 8:52 AM

Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes will be examined in St. Louis on Monday by Dr. Robert William Thompson, one of the country's leading experts on thoracic outlet syndrome. The team believes Hughes is suffering from the condition, which has led to his ineffectiveness this spring and a drop in velocity. The 24-year-old showed a "slight positive" on a circulatory test this week, according to general manager Brian Cashman, suggesting that TOS might be the root of Hughes' dead-arm problems. "You're trying to come up with some clinical diagnosis based on a lot of information - some of it testing, some of it conversations with the patient about what he's feeling," Cashman said Thursday. "You try to put it all together and try to make sense of it."
