Tue Mar 19 2013 | 21:04 | Rapada's status for Opening Day in question |
Clay Rapada (shoulder), who had been shut down for nearly two weeks with left shoulder bursitis, has progressed to playing catch. |
While he doesn't need a lot of spring innings to get himself ready for Opening Day, his status for the beginning of the season remains in question. The 32-year-old lefty registered a stellar 2.82 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 38/17 K/BB ratio over 70 appearances with the Yankees in 2012. He's nothing more than a left-handed specialist though, and holds no value in most fantasy leagues. |

Relievers only need a handful of spring appearances to get properly tuned up for the start of the regular season, so this isn't a major concern yet. But it will become one if Rapada is still feeling discomfort in a week. |
