Taylor Williams Injures Shoulder On Wednesday
4 years agoSan Diego Padres relief pitcher Taylor Williams (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. In the sixth inning of the game, he went to cover first base on a play and had to dive to catch a throw from Jake Cronenworth. He landed hard on his left shoulder while diving. He told the Padres staff that he was fine after the inning, but when he returned in the seventh inning, he started to experience shoulder tightness and he was pulled. He will be re-evaluated on Thursday. The Padres have suffered a number of bullpen injuries. Javy Guerra (UCL) and Matt Strahm (patellar) won't be ready for the start of the season. Williams could be one of the team's setup men behind Austin Adams and Keone Kela if he stays healthy.
