Flying back to Phoenix last night, Torey Lovullo was having a discussion with his staff about all of the injuries the team has endured. As spring training wound down it looked like the Diamondbacks had managed to get through it without any major injuries. Then suddenly just before the season started starterAs the season opened one by one additional players kept being added to the injured list to the point where there are now nine Diamondbacks out of commission.
"That was part of the discussion I had on the airplane last night. I think we all learned a very valuable lesson. The Athlete felt great, he looked great, he knew his body. We were using our instincts and his, and it just was probably a little bit too soon. We may have gone a little bit too fast with E-Rod and we'll learn from that."
Allowing a pitcher to begin throwing too soon may not have been limited to just Rodriguez however. Paul Sewald, who started the year on the IL with a Grade 2 Oblique strain, recently had a setback as well. Sewald had begun throwing somewhat sooner than expected, based on the typical downtime for such an injury.
