Health: Castillo, Marlon, Gotay, Etc.
Luis Castillo did not play in yesterday’s game, as he told reporters he would do earlier in the week.
Instead, he intends to play on Saturday.
…he probably could play today, but would rather not travel to do so…instead, he’ll work out in Tradition Field, and start new at home on Saturday…fair enough, luis…
Meanwhile, Marlon Anderson is once again sidelined with residual pain in his chest - due to his collision with Ryan Church on March 1.
Ruben Gotay did some light base running yesterday, but continues to limp while walking.
Carlos Beltran is expected to play in the outfield this weekend.
During yesterday’s game, Duaner Sanchez returned to allow two hits and a run and a blown save.
Sanchez was in good spirits after the game, telling reporters he finally feels as good as he did before the taxi accident.
…do not worry about duaner’s results…he’s not using his change-up as much, which if you remember is what he used to be so dominant in 2006…these days, because it’s so early in spring, he’s just throwing fastball after fastball to test out his arm…
