Dodgers' Zack Greinke throwing good in rehab
Diposkan oleh Unknown on Friday, May 10, 2013
Right-handed pitcher throws 60 pitches in up-to-date session and appears ahead from agenda in recovery from operation on left shoulder joint.
Dodgers appetiser Zack Greinke has
already touched 90 mph in his recent bullpen sessions, according to Manager Don
Mattingly.
Greinke’s newest pitcher's mound session came Tuesday, when he delivered
all but sixty auction pitch*.
Greinke looks to be ahead of agenda in his recovery from an April thirteen
functioning on his non-throwing shoulder joint. The Dodgers initially calculated
Greinke would be come out eight weeks, which would get kept him out until June 8.
The $147-million right-handed pitcher, who was injured in a
bench-clearing incidental in San Diego on April 11, read he still has around irritation
in his left shoulder joint. Only he's able to catch the ball without any troubles
and Is not bounded in his ambit by apparent motion.
Because Greinke started throwing before long after the operation, his throwing
arm has not lost a good deal effectiveness. “I don’t know how I’d be throwing over 100 pitches, but throwing 50 to 75
should be pretty easy at this point,” he said. “I’ve just got to get consistency
and be able to get hitters out. That’s what I’m working on in the bullpen, making
good pitches. You take some time off, you’re a little rusty.”
Greinke said he didn’t know when he would start a minor league rehabilitation
assignment.
Considering how he was injured, Greinke was called for if he would be in
favor of applying a convention that would call for players to be automatically suspended
if they leave the dugout during a brawl. NBA players who leave the bench to participate
in brawls draw automatic one-game suspensions.
“I think it’s part of the game or it has been forever,” Greinke said. “Any
rule changes there’s going to be something that can backfire in a different way.
Say we’re not allowed to do anything. So what? You get in a fight and it’s just
one on one until one person dies?
“It’s not like people are coming off the benches and everyone’s bringing
weapons out. Most of the people coming out of the dugout are there to calm things
down and not encourage it. “
Elian Herrera is called up
As expected, the Dodgers put Jerry Hairston Jr. on the disabled list because
of a strained left groin. Hairston’s place on the active roster was taken by utility
man Elian Herrera, who was called up from triple-A Albuquerque.
The Dodgers aren’t expecting much offense from Herrera, who was batting
.250 with two home runs and 16 runs batted in in 27 games for Albuquerque. He played
in 67 major league games last season, hitting .251 with a home run and 17 RBIs.
Herrera was chosen instead of Scott Van Slyke to replace Hairston because
of his ability to play both corner outfield positions. Mattingly said he wanted
to use Herrera to give days off to left fielder Carl Crawford and right fielder
Andre Ethier.
However, Van Slyke could be on his way to the majors soon. Van Slyke began
Tuesday batting .393 with nine home runs and 28 RBIs at triple A but had played
exclusively at first base. Van Slyke was moved to right field Tuesday.
Hanley Ramirez to be out four to six weeks
Hanley Ramirez is expected to return to the Dodgers’ lineup in four to six
weeks, according to the team. Under the Dodgers’ timetable, Ramirez will return
some time from the last week of May to the middle of June.
Ramirez, who was injured running the bases Friday, underwent an MRI exam
that confirmed he has a strained left hamstring.
Scott Elbert is on the mend
Left-hander
Scott Elbert, who underwent 2 elbow functionings ended the off-season, threw a bullpen
session at Dodger sports stadium. He is scheduled to begin a minor league rehabilitation
assignment Friday with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga. The game will be Elbert’s 1st
at any level this year.
THANKS FOR AL
