2012/02/10	C	Cervelli, Francisco	NYY	concussion	New York Yankees C Francisco Cervelli (concussion) enters the season as the favorite to be the team's backup catcher to C Russell Martin following the trade of C Jesus Montero to the Seattle Mariners. Cervelli said his symptoms following his concussion in September are gone. "Doctors said work hard and I feel good," Cervelli said Friday, Feb. 10. Cervelli will be trying to hold off prospect C Austin Romine for the job.
2012/02/10	RP	Chamberlain, Joba	NYY	elbow	New York Yankees RP Joba Chamberlain (elbow) made 15 throws in his second session off of a half mound Friday, Feb. 10, at the team's minor league complex and he said he was "happy with the progress and feeling good."
2012/02/10	SP	Cobb, Alex	TB	rib	Tampa Bay Rays P Alex Cobb (rib) has been throwing bullpen sessions with no restrictions after having surgery last year to remove a blood clot from his rib. "I'm 100 percent," Cobb said. "I feel better than I did last year."
2012/02/10	OF	Craig, Allen	STL	knee	St. Louis Cardinals OF Allen Craig (knee) has yet to run or swing a bat since his surgery in November to repair a fractured right patella. The injury caused Craig's right thigh to atrophy, and he has mostly been working to strengthen the area since the surgery.
2012/02/10	P	Gomes, Brandon	TB	back	Tampa Bay Rays RP Brandon Gomes (back) will be limited at the start of spring training due to surgery that he had last November to fix a disc in his back. However, he's still confident he will be ready to pitch on opening day April 6. Gomes hasn't thrown off a mound and is unlikely to join the other pitchers in the first week or two of bullpen sessions.
2012/02/10	1B	Howard, Ryan	PHI	Achilles'	Updating previous reports, Philadelphia Phillies 1B Ryan Howard (Achilles') said he's ahead of schedule in his rehab but won't be ready for the start of the season. Howard thinks he'll return in the six-month window, while Philadelphia 76ers power forward Elton Brand thinks it will be eight months. Brand suffered a similar injury. An eight-month window would put Howard out until late June or July.
2012/02/10	2B	Hughes, Luke	MIN	shoulder	Minnesota Twins INF Luke Hughes (shoulder) was diagnosed with a sprained right shoulder after undergoing an MRI exam Thursday, Feb. 9, and he will sit out three to four weeks in order to heal. Hughes isn't expected to miss many spring training games.
2012/02/10	C	Posey, Buster	SF	leg	The San Francisco Giants plan to use C Buster Posey (leg) at first base this year around once a week to lessen the wear and tear on his body behind the plate. "(My ankle) feels good and has progressively gotten better and better," Posey said. "The biggest concern, I think, coming back from this was to gain my range of motion back, and I feel like I completely have my range back almost 100 percent. If it's not 100 percent, it's really close." Posey is hoping to take part in the team's spring opener March 3 and it's realistic to think he can play in the regular season opener April 6 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
2012/02/10	C	Romine, Austin	NYY	concussion	New York Yankees C Francisco Cervelli (concussion) enters the season as the favorite to be the team's backup catcher to C Russell Martin following the trade of C Jesus Montero to the Seattle Mariners. Cervelli said his symptoms following his concussion in September are gone. "Doctors said work hard and I feel good," Cervelli said Friday, Feb. 10. Cervelli will be trying to hold off prospect C Austin Romine for the job.
