Several MLB players are currently dealing with injuries during spring training. Alek Manoah of the Blue Jays is experiencing right shoulder soreness and has been ruled day-to-day after an MRI revealed no structural damage. He felt the soreness during a bullpen session and will be missing his next start, though the team, under manager John Schneider, hopes his absence will be short-term. Ricky Tiedemann, another Blue Jays pitcher, is recovering from discomfort in his left hamstring/knee area but feels good after a recent bullpen session. Manager John Schneider indicated that a live batting practice session is likely next for him as he prepares for the season. Taijuan Walker of the Phillies returned to camp after a brief absence for personal reasons, experiencing normal spring training soreness in his right knee after a bullpen session. Manager Rob Thomson plans to ease him back into activity. Yariel Rodriguez of the Blue Jays has been sidelined due to back spasms experienced after throwing live batting practice, with plans to resume mound work soon.

Alek Manoah felt some soreness in his right shoulder during a bullpen session yesterday so Blue Jays are bumping him from tomorrow’s start. No structural damage and Jays hope the break required is short-term per mgr John Schneider
Ricky Tiedemann (left hamstring/knee area) feels good after a recent bullpen session per manager John Schneider, who said a live BP is likely next for the top pitching prospect. #BlueJays hope this shouldn’t be too much of an interruption to his prep for the season.
Yariel Rodriguez (back spasms) has been sidelined for a bit since throwing a live BP per manager John Schneider. Didn’t happen on a specific pitch & Rodriguez said to be feeling much better with plans to get off a mound & resume building up this weekend #BlueJays
A postgame Phillies tidbit to file away: Taijuan Walker hasn't pitched yet. He reported "normal spring training soreness" after throwing BP yesterday, Rob Thomson said. So he'll be backed off "for a couple of days. Then we'll get him back out there."
Taijuan Walker was away from camp for a few days last week for personal reasons. He returned, threw a bullpen session yesterday and felt “normal spring training soreness” in his right knee, per Rob Thomson. Phillies will take it easy with him the next few days.
