Injuries abound as the MLB season wraps up the first quarter of the season. Dice-K who has placed on the 15-day DL back on April 15th with a mild shoulder strain is slated to return for the Sox opener at Citi Field in New York on Friday. Kevin Youkilis had a short stint on the DL with a strained oblique as is due back today.
Edwin Encarnacion, out since April 28th with a wrist fracture, is expected back possibly by late May. Edinson Volquez, out with back spasm, is listed day-to-day. The Reds need him back quickly. Joey Votto has been undergoing exams to figure out why he is having dizziness and headaches. He is also liste4d day-to-day and is sorely missed.
Latest stat: The Reds are currently on a 4-game losing streak after being tied for first in the central only one week ago. They can ill afford these injuries.
Red Sox note: Tim Wakefield has been spectacular this season with a 5-2 record, a 3.59 ERA and 30 strikeouts including 2 complete games.
