D-backs have outfield injury to overcome again




Locked On MLB - Daily Podcast On Major League Baseball show

Summary: Welcome to Locked on MLB, the national baseball podcast as part of the Locked On Podcast Network hosted by Tommy Stokke.  Today's show discusses the Arizona Diamondbacks dealing with yet another outfield injury, which seems to happen every season. This time it's to newly-acquired Steven Souza, who was injured diving for a ball in the outfield. While nothing definitive is known about his shoulder injury, it looks like he could miss some time for the D-backs. Who will replace him and will the D-backs be able to overcome the injury early in the season? Greg Holland is still a free agent, and teams always need relievers. Who will step up and make a move for the closer? Holland saved 41 games last year for the Rockies for his terrible second half could be scaring teams away. The Cardinals and Mariners are two of the teams that should give Holland a call, but some others make sense, too.  The show ends with a look around the league at notable performances and injuries, including Jake Arrieta's Phillies debut, Michael Conforto's big day for the Mets and Matt Kemp's role with the Dodgers. The Athletics have another injured pitcher; so do the Mets. The Indians appear to have avoided a scare, though. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
