Fitts skipped in rotation?

Post by Carp4Cy »

Libby is making his 3rd start today. May tomorrow and McGreevey on Friday for his 3rd start. Is Fitts hurt or just not expected to make the rotation after all?

no they're not hurt....if you remember the last 2 seasons, Gray and a few other pitchers, Libby included, would get back field scrimmage/simulated game starts the first few weeks. Then they integrate into the actual rotation.

I think you forgot Gray's hamstring injury last spring.

Fitts just completed two scoreless innings against the Nicaragua WBC team, giving up four hits and striking out three.

He's fine and going to be in the SR unless he sustains an injury this spring.
