Indians | Ubaldo Jimenez ready to rebound

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:01:04 -0800

The Cleveland Indians feel SP Ubaldo Jimenez (groin) will return to form in 2012 because he suffered through a groin injury last year that affected his lower body strength. "Ubaldo felt that his season was sidetracked by a groin injury that affected his lower-body strength and his ability to consistently execute his delivery," general manager Chris Antonetti said. "To be sure he comes into camp with the best foundation for success, Ubaldo has worked diligently this winter with one of our strength and conditioning coaches on his core and lower half strength and flexibility."
