The left-hander, who is returning from shoulder surgery performed nearly 19 months ago, met with manager Terry Collins in his office before Collins announced his decision to have him pitch against Atlanta on Thursday.
“After we talked to Johan yesterday after he threw, I walked by him and he said to me at the end, `You’ve got your pitcher for Thursday,”’ Collins said.
Santana made his last spring training start Monday against St. Louis and worked a brief bullpen session Saturday.
“It means a lot,” he said. “It means that everything we’ve done from surgery to today has paid off. We worked hard, and I’m very happy.”

Lowe feels better; Indians send 7 to minors

Cleveland Indians right-hander Derek Lowe doesn’t think his sore back is serious, and lefty David Huff will miss time with a hamstring injury.

The 38-year-old Lowe left Thursday’s start after three innings with tightness near his right ribcage. He said he felt better and he doesn’t expect to go on the disabled list for the first time in his career. Huff’s injury drops him from competition with right-handers Jeanmar Gomez and Kevin Slowey for the fifth rotation spot. Cleveland sent seven players to the minor leagues Friday. Left-hander Nick Hagadone and infielderRuss Canzler were optioned to Triple-A Columbus. Reassigned to minor league camp were catcher Luke Carlin, infielder Andy LaRoche, leftyChris Seddon and right-handers Chris Ray and Robinson Tejeda.

Indians work out Vladimir Guerrero

12:35 AM | Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Free agent outfielder Vladimir Guerrero has worked out for the Cleveland Indians in the Dominican Republic.

Guerrero, a .318 career hitter with 449 homers in 16 major league seasons, was looked at by Indians scouts on Monday at the team’s baseball academy.
ESPN Deportes first reported Guerrero’s workout. The Indians have been looking for a right-handed hitter for months to improve a lineup that struggled to score last season. It’s not known how interested the Indians are in the 37-year-old Guerrero, a former MVP and nine-time All-Star. If he showed he can still play the outfield, Cleveland would be more likely to sign him than bring him in as a platoon designated hitter with Travis Hafner, a left-handed hitter. Guerrero knows Indians manager Manny Acta from their days together in Montreal’s organization.

Chris Carpenter returns to Cardinals’ camp

12:09 AM | Labels: , , , , , , , , , ,

St. Louis pitcher Chris Carpenter has returned to the Cardinals’ spring training camp, with manager Mike Matheny still unsure when his ace will be back on a mound.

Carpenter, who has yet to pitch in a spring training game, underwent four days of tests last week in St. Louis to determine the cause of a nerve ailment that has weakened his throwing shoulder. Matheny thinks the right-hander will have to rest.
“I’ve been there before,” Matheny said Monday. “When I had the concussion stuff they were flying me all over the country trying to get me to this specialist and that specialist, and sooner or later I just said: Enough, hopefully you guys have the information you need. He understands the process, but it’s kind of grueling as far as the poking and prodding.”
The 37-year-old has not faced hitters since batting practice on March 3. A bulging disk in his neck originally was thought to be the cause of the problem.
The 2005 NL Cy Young Award winner was 11-9 last season, then went 4-0 in the postseason as the Cardinals won the World Series. He threw 273 1-3 combined innings between the 2011 regular and postseasons. - http://sports.yahoo.com

TAMPA, Fla. (AP)—Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain is to be released from the hospital Sunday, three days after dislocating his right ankle bouncing on a trampoline.
New York general manager Brian Cashman announced the news before the Yankees’ game against a Detroit Tigers split squad.
Chamberlain was hurt while playing with his son Thursday at a recreation spot. He needed surgery for the injury in which bone broke through the skin.
Cashman says Chamberlain will be in a nonweight-bearing cast for six weeks. There is no timetable for when the 26-year-old right-hander can resume pitching. - http://sports.yahoo.com

Joakim Soria has elbow damage

12:51 AM | Labels: , , , , , , , , , , ,

 Kansas City Royals closer Joakim Soria has damage to his right elbow, and general manager Dayton Moore said the right-hander might need Tommy John surgery. 

31soria.533.jpg (533×304) 


Moore made the comment to the Kansas City Star before Soria underwent a follow-up exam Tuesday with elbow specialist Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles.

"We'll see what that reveals," Moore told the Star on Tuesday, "but maybe so. It's unfortunate. Joakim is such a professional person, and he's obviously hurting right now. Let's hope for the best. If it needs reconstruction, let's hope for a good outcome."

Soria had Tommy John -- also known as reconstructive elbow surgery -- in 2003 to replace the same ligament he injured in Sunday's Cactus League game against Cleveland. He left after retiring only one of five batters he faced and said after the outing that his elbow felt "really bad."

Soria has been one of the best relievers in the American League since his rookie season of 2007, but his performance fell off last year. His ERA jumped to 4.03 and he had 28 saves, but lost the closer's job at times. - http://espn.go.com

New York manager Joe Girardi announced the news before Friday’s spring training game against Washington. Girardi says he wants to avoid unnecessary risks. Jeter spent time on the disabled list last season with a right calf injury.
“It’s really not that big of an issue, seriously,” Jeter said. “Just sore. Nothing out of the ordinary, I don’t think. Things happen at spring training. One of the things with spring training is you have extra days.”
Rremembered what happened last year even through it was a different calf, so I’m just being cautious,” Girardi said.Jeter first felt the soreness in Wednesday’s game against Toronto. He went through a full workout Thursday, but stayed off the field Friday.
Others sitting out the game with the Nationals because of injuries include catcher Russell Martin and outfielder Nick Swisher—both with groin injuries. Swisher could play Saturday. Martin will miss at least a couple days.
Pitcher Freddy Garcia has a bruised right hand, which remains wrapped. He is expected to miss his next scheduled start in a minor league game Monday. - http://sports.yahoo.com

Crawford shut down by wrist, opening day unlikely

1:25 AM | Labels: , , , , , , , , , ,


FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP)—Boston Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford will be shut down this week to let his left wrist heal and it’s unlikely he’ll be ready to play by opening day.
Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said Monday that Crawford would held out for five to seven days because inflammation. Crawford had surgery on his wrist in mid-January.
Coming off a disappointing season, Crawford was an early arrival at spring training this year. He had been throwing and swinging a bat but had to limit his activities last week after he developed soreness in his wrist.
“He was examined and determined that he should curtail his swinging and his throwing,” Valentine said.
The Red Sox begin the season April 5 at Detroit.
“The opening day thing is probably not realistic,” Valentine said. “It’s not the calendar. He’ll be ready when he’s ready.”
“As we talked about before he got here, and we’ve reiterated that Carl loves to do a lot of stuff and it’s probably not in his best interest at this time to overdo it. It’s more work than his wrist needs at this time,” he said.
Crawford had career lows with a .255 batting average and 18 stolen bases in 2011, the first season of his seven-year, $142 million with Boston. - http://sports.yahoo.com/
