Which Major League Baseball players have suffered injuries in spring training?”
BRADENTON, Fla. — Instead of running through drills Thursday on the sun-splashed kickoff of spring training, Pirates reliever Joel Hanrahan was holed up in an examination room. While pitchers threw fastballs in the bullpen at Pirate City, Hanrahan’s sore right elbow and forearm were poked and prodded by team doctors. “It’s tough,” Hanrahan said. “Everybody gets back, and you want to get out there with them. You get to know the guys a lot better by hanging out with them on the field than you do sitting in the training room.” Hanrahan could be out a while — the Pirates expect him to begin the regular season on the disabled list with a strained right flexor-pronator.

First came the news that Cliff Lee underwent foot surgery last week. He will miss the first few weeks of spring training and may not be ready for the start of the Seattle Mariners regular season. The Mariners felt that removing the floating bone spur now was better than having Lee pitch through the discomfort all season. Lee is one of the major additions the Mariners made this offseason (along with Chone Figgins, Milton Bradley, and Casey Kotchman) to make them a favorite to overtake the LA Angels in the American League West. Then came news that the Atlanta Braves young hurler Jair Jurrjens was having shoulder discomfort and needed an MRI. Jurrjens did not throw during the offseason and felt the discomfort right before he left Curacao and it continued during his first throwing session in Florida.
