Pierce Johnson Exits With Groin Tightness

3 years agoSan Diego Padres reliever Pierce Johnson (groin) exited Tuesday's outing early with groin tightness. Expected to be a key middle reliever for the Friars, Johnson landed awkwardly after a delivery and will be reevaluated Wednesday. After a stint in Japan, the 29-year-old enjoyed a resurgent 2020 campaign, posting a 2.70 ERA and 34 percent strikeout rate in 24 appearances. Johnson joins a crowded bullpen in the trainer's room with Matt Strahm (knee), Austin Adams (elbow) and Javy Guerra (elbow) questionable for Opening Day. An extended absence for Johnson could further solidify pitching prospect Ryan Weathers' roster spot as a swingman. The team's No. 5 prospect, Weathers has permitted four earned runs in seven innings this spring. The 21-year-old is a savvy dynasty target that could pay immediate dividends.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
