3 years agoCleveland Guardians relief pitcher James Karinchak (shoulder), who was shut down from throwing in early April due to a mild right shoulder strain, is symptom-free and is throwing out to 250 feet at the team's spring training facility in Arizona. The right-hander was nearing a bullpen session, but the Guardians decided to hold off. "They've pushed the bullpens back a little bit just because he wants to be in a place where he knows he can let it go," manager Terry Francona said. "He's not a touch-and-feel guy. So, we're still not quite there." He'll likely require a short minor league rehab assignment, too, so fantasy managers must be a bit more patient for Karinchak to make his 2022 season debut.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
