3 years agoPittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said that shortstop Kevin Newman (groin, hamstring) experienced a setback in his rehab, although it's believed to be on the minor side. Newman felt something in his hamstring, and it's not related to his groin injury. The 28-year-old played in a minor league rehab game with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, where he likely tweaked his hamstring. Newman has been on the shelf since late April due to a strained left groin, and now he'll be out longer. He was hitting .250/.308/.375 with no home runs, eight RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base in 14 games before his injury, and Newman has very little fantasy appeal in much deeper leagues when he's healthy.
