Jered Weaver seems to be questionable these days. All tests are negative but Scioscia is “taking things slowly” with the sophomore pitcher.
He is not expected to throw off a mound for a while – perhaps about two weeks.
But Weaver downplayed any talk about the injury Saturday. He had an MRI exam a few weeks ago. “Everything came out negative,” Weaver said. “It’s just a matter of working it out.”
Hmm.. rumor is Weaver was going to go high in our rookie draft. Now? I’m not so sure. I’m sure we’ll give him a closer look. I’m always a little more wary about drafting pitchers high anyway.
