Slow-Moving Web Injury Update

We’ve been experiencing terrible inter tube woes today. That’s why posting has been, well, non-existent. And it’s probably not going to speed up any time soon. A slow loading website combined with intermittent wireless service is not a good formula for high tech communications.

Here come a couple of brief updates:

• RHP Derrick Turnbow ended up not making the trip to Scottsdale because of a swollen right knee that he suffered during Sunday’s outing. Turnbow was supposed to pitch on consecutive days to give the Rangers an idea how well he’d bounce back.

Turnbow becomes the third pitcher on the bubble to deal with a recent injury: RHP Willie Eyre has been dealing with a sore groin and was not up to throwing live batting practice Monday, which had tentatively been the plan for him; RHP Dustin Nippert is supposed to throw live batting practice tomorrow after dealing with a sore back muscle for nearly two weeks.

• 1B Chris Davis left Monday’s game with a sore left patella tendon. Davis, who was 0-for-2 before leaving, has 71 at-bats this spring. He leads the team in at-bats.
