Danny Salazar Making Good Progress
5 years agoCleveland Indians pitcher Danny Salazar (shoulder) started throwing live batting practice for the first time on Tuesday, and manager Terry Francona said the right-hander has been making solid progress since then. The 29-year-old missed all of 2018 due to injury but should help the Indians out for the second half of this season. It's unclear if he'll work in a starting or relief role, but Salazar could have deep mixed and AL-only value in a starting role after he went 11-6 with a 3.87 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 10.6 K/9 in 25 starts in 2016. Salazar owns an impressive 10.5 strikeouts per nine innings in his five years in the big leagues.
