Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Sunday, April 27, 2008
Owings’ frustration was evident as he slammed his helmet in the dirt as he sat next to second and was examined by head athletic trainer Ken Crenshaw. Owings was escorted off the field and into the clubhouse, where he began receiving treatment immediately.
“A little stiff,” Owings said. “But I’ve been through plenty of ankle sprains and I’ve already started to get some work in here with the trainers. Ken’s one of the best, so I’m not really too worried about it.”
. . .
The D-backs tied the game at 7 in the seventh inning thanks to Conor Jackson’s RBI single, but their joy was tempered when the frame ended with Upton pulling up lame after trying to leg out a grounder to short.
“We’re not sure it’s a cramp or a strain or a pull yet,” Melvin said. “I’m not going to play him tomorrow, but we don’t know yet. It could be a cramp.”
Fortunately, these don’t appear to be serious injuries. I’d hate to see something like that hinder what is shaping up to be an outstanding season for the Diamondbacks or any team. But with their hot start, the Diamondbacks can afford to be careful.
