Whew, this is really going to test them. Wonder who will be up...

Shawn Kelley apparently

Longest stride in baseball equals eventual groin pull.

He will be the closer, I meant I wonder who will be called up to fill the roster spot. Cabral maybe? Would be great if Montgomery was ready, but not sure he is.

Claiborne is still on the 40 man roster also, maybe it has to be him or he should be DFAd in favor of whoever they do want to add.

I was thinking Claiborne seemed likely, but he did pitch like shit this spring so who knows.

Robertson thinks he'll be throwing again before the 15 days is up:

I have decided to retire.

Doesn't seem too bad as it's only a grade 1 strain. They are however tricky as some groin strains linger. Hoping this isn't the case.

Last time he was made closer he also got hurt (oblique). I wonder if he overthrows a bit when he closes and this makes him more susceptible to injury

 

[dynomite]

Any update, or will they have to just wait and see how he heals? I know groin injuries can linger, but that it's often a case-by-case question.
