Batter's Box Interactive Magazine - Podsednik on the Mend

My buddy Eddie Michels in Dunedin, who reports for a number of news services, says that Outfielder Scott Podsednik is recovering from his bout with Plantar Facialis, a painful foot malady.

In February, Podsednik signed a minor league contract with the Jays. Yesterday, he played his first game since March 13th at extended spring training in Dunedin. He went 2 for 4 with a homer and two runs scored against the Yankees.

A multi year and multi team veteran of the bigs, the .279 lifetime hitter in the majors was quoted by Michaels as saying “My foot feels good. The training staff has done a really good job of putting the rehab plan together and things are going well.”

Podsednik also said he will mostly be in extended spring training for another week or so. “I am going to get plenty of at bats and get my timing down. Then I think I will head off to Las Vegas and get some at bats there," Podsednik added.

Podsednik played for the Kansas City Royals and Los Angeles Dodgers last season. He ended up batting .297, had a .342 on-base percentage and stole 35 bases in 134 games.

Thnaks Mamboon. I think this is his second come-back, the Jays will be hoping he doesn't re-injure himself again.

Encarnacion to Bereavement list for 3 to 7 days, McCoy recalled. Per Gregor Chisolm.

Also, Yankees have sent Phil Hughes down to AAA. Fat Bart into the rotation.

I got that info on Hughes from Rotoworld, which has now been updated to say Hughes to DL with a dead arm.

Saw Hughes pitch last night on TV and he was sitting 87-88. Colon came in after him and didn't throw much harder. Kevin Gregg blew the save for the Orioles in the 9th on the first pitch to Posada. The Orioles then lost it in the 10th.

Colon looked good last night. He's been steamrollering people so far. There are worse ideas...
