Considering that it is the beginning of the season. I wanted to give you an updated report of the injuries
we are dealing with at the moment. We have 4 pitchers that we are tending to, 2 being a shoulder injury
and 2 being an elbow issue. Then we are dealing with a hand injury with one of the center fielders. We
have been playing for about a month now and we only have 5 injuries which is considerable good
considering other teams in the league are reporting 10 people on the injury reserve list at least. I believe
that with the nature of the sport we should incorporate time within travel and games for me to go
through shoulder and elbow prehab for our players. This should lead to less shoulder and elbow injuries
we should see closer to October when it really matters. I know we have some big games with the
Rangers and the Mets coming up but before the team goes back on the road to Seattle I want to lay the
ground level for what I want them to be doing.
