|
| Updating a previous report, Troy Glaus' one-year contract with the Braves will pay him $350,000 for 400-500 plate appearances next season, according to Buster Olney on Twitter. |
Our View: Galus will receive $400,000 for 550 plate appearances and $550,000 for 600 plate appearances if he can stay healthy next season. Any way you look at it, this is a great deal for the Braves as they are on the hook for virtually nothing financially.
|
|
|
|
| Nearly two weeks after it was first reported, the Braves have finally confirmed their signing of corner infielder Troy Glaus, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman. |
Our View: Exact financials are still not yet available, though it is known to be a one-year, incentive-laden deal. He will be the team's first baseman. Considering he played just 14 games because of injury at the age of 33 last season, that can't be the most comforting thought for Braves fans.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, the Braves have indeed signed Troy Glaus to a one-year deal, according to Fox Sports. |
Our View: The deal is incentive-laden, not surprising given Glaus' history of injuries, and will be officially announced assuming he passes a physical over the next day or two. Glaus will play first base for the Braves and should hit somewhere in the middle of their lineup. He still possesses nice power and could end up as a late-round bargain this year if he can stay healthy.
|
|
|
|
| The Braves are closing in on a deal with Troy Glaus, according to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal. |
Our View: Assuming he signs, Glaus will play first base in Atlanta, signaling that they won't re-sign Adam LaRoche. Glaus will still be eligible at third base in fantasy in 2010 and could make for a decent late-round flier given his nice power potential.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus covets a full-time gig as a corner infielder for 2010, rather than working in a DH role, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN. |
Our View: Glaus made his medical records available for all 30 MLB teams. He is 33 and coming off an injury-spoiled 2009 campaign, but apparently still has faith he can handle a regular job in the field.
|
|
|
|
| The St. Louis Cardinals will not offer free-agent-to-be Troy Glaus salary arbitration, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
Our View: Glaus, 33 years old, appeared in just 14 games last season due to injury, and were the team to offer him arbitration, it would almost certainly be the best offer he would get, prompting him to accept. That is not something the Cardinals want. He will play elsewhere in 2010, most likely the American League.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus will be a part of the Cardinals' NLDS roster when they battle the Dodgers, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: Glaus missed most of the season while rehabbing from shoulder surgery, but could help the club in the playoffs as a power source off the bench.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus mad ethe start at third base on Thursday, and he made the most of his opportunity to get in the lineup. Glaus went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, and two RBI in the Cardinals' 13-0 win over the Reds. |
Our View: Glaus is trying to play his way onto the postseason roster, and he helped his cause with his performance today. If he can stay healthy and get his timing back, he could be a dangerous bat off the bench for the Cards in the postseason.
|
|
|
|
| According to MLB.com, Troy Glaus has rejoined the Cardinals and is available to come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Reds. |
Our View: Glaus has had a litany of injuries this season that has lead to just 17 at-bats with the Cardinals in 2009. He'll likely get some pinch hitting opportunities, but won't see much action over the final week as Tony LaRussa has plenty of other options and will want to keep his regulars on their toes heading into postseason play.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus did not join the Cardinals for Monday's game at Houston, and his return to the diamond is uncertain while dealing with a strained oblique, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
Our View: Glaus could sit out the entire nine-game road trip, but GM John Mozeliak did not rule out re-evaluating him at the end of the weekend. He is only 3-for-17 since coming off the DL.
|
|
|
|
| According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Tony LaRussa said he's not sure when injured third baseman Troy Glaus (oblique) will be available. |
Our View: LaRussa addressed the situation in this roundabout way, "You're only talking about three weeks left in the season. It's definitely not a good development. If a guy's played all year long and he misses 10 days, it's less of a factor than if you miss five months and come back in and you're trying to get going. It's not a good time to miss time." Sounds like he's not thrilled with the situation. And the Cards likely aren't thrilled with Glaus' 3-for-17 stint since coming off the DL.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus is day-to-day while nursing a sore oblique muscle, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
Our View: The slugger had a shot to make a start at third base for today's home game against Florida if healthy. He suffered the injury while working as a pinch-hitter in Saturday's game.
|
|
|
|
| The St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that Troy Glaus will not receive much playing time despite his September call-up. |
Our View: Glaus can't throw across the diamond anymore, so he's useless at third base, and the big righty hit just .212/.340/.329 in his rehab, so he's pretty much useless at the dish as well. He'll likely just be relegated to pinch hitting duty or get the very rare start at first base when Albert Pujols sits.
|
|
|
|
| TSN.ca reports that the Cardinals have activated third baseman Troy Glaus from the 15-day disabled list. |
Our View: Glaus, who has missed the entire season, will get some at-bats off the bench and may get a spot start at first if the team wants to rest Albert Pujols due to a ten-game cushion in the NL Central. He's too banged up to play third anymore though and will likely just be some pop off the pine for Tony LaRussa. A free agent at season's end, he is unlikely to return to St. Louis next season.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus took live batting practice against Kyle Lohse on Tuesday at Busch Stadium, according to Cardinals' beat writer Matthew Leach. Glaus struck out in his first at-bat of the day. |
Our View: Glaus could see some at-bats in the next month for the Cards, but it sounds like he may be a little rusty. With the team having a comfortable lead in the division, expect guys like Mark DeRosa to get some time off over the next month, thus opening up some possibly playing time for Glaus, among others. We don't expect him to do much this season, however.
|
|
|
|
| The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that the Cardinals plan to make Troy Glaus one of their September call-ups when the rosters expand on Tuesday. Glaus was rehabbing in Triple-A Memphis, but he left and will be evaluated before the Cardinals' game on Tuesday. |
Our View: Glaus has not played in the majors yet this season, so anything the Cards could get out of him would be an added bonus. If he can play, look for him to serve as a right-handed bat off the bench who may get a few starts here and there to give players like mark DeRosa a rest.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus (shoulder) said on Wednesday that he still expects to play this season, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
Our View: Glaus expects to head out on another minor league rehab assignment in a few days, with an eye toward being activated in early September. However, his balky shoulder is still expected to preclude him from any throwing when he comes back, meaning he'd be limited to pinch-hitting duties.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus (back) has again been cleared to swing a bat, according to MLBlogs.com. |
Our View: The neverending journey that is Glaus' comeback continues. Don't expect him to have any sort of an impact in the Cardinals crowded lineup should he actually make it back this season.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus' ailing back is improving, according to MLBblogs.com. |
Our View: Glaus will meet with Dr. Paletta tonight, and is hoping that he could get the green light to swing off a tee Tuesday. He has been throwing, and his surgically-repaired shoulder is feeling good as well.
|
|
|
|
| Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Troy Glaus has been shut down "indefinitely" after the bugling disc in his back failed to improve after pain injections. |
Our View: What little chance the Cardinals had of trading Glaus this month after the non-waivers trading deadline likely goes up in smoke with this development. The team also has little inventive to hurry him back, since there is no place for him on their major league roster. Don't expect to hear his name too many more times in 2009.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus' minor league rehab assignment has been put on hold as the third baseman is suffering from persistent back pain, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
Our View: There goes what little chance the Birds had of dealing their player without a position. If he is able to come back from his injury at all, Glaus should be one of the majors' most expensive pinch-hitters down the stretch.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus exited Monday's rehab game with Double-A Springfield in the third inning due to back spasms, according to the Springfield News-Leader. |
Our View: His back is sore, and Glaus is disappointed as he is trying to return to the Cardinals. This setback could hurt his trade value as well.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus indicated that he would be willing to accept a trade by the Cardinals, according to the Springfield News-Leader. Glaus said, "At this point, obviously with the trade there, there is not a whole lot of at-bats in left field. There is clearly not a whole lot of at-bats at first base. You need to be able to contribute and be a part of it. If that is in the cards, then great. If not, then we need to look somewhere else because it does not do anybody any good. You can't contribute to either side." |
Our View: Glaus (shoulder surgery) is playing in rehab games with Double-A Springfield, but still cannot throw across the diamond from third base. He realizes that scouts from interested teams are watching him, but he is merely focusing on getting healthy.
|
|
|
|
| mLive.com is reporting that the Tigers have no interest in Cardinals' infielder Troy Glaus. Manager Jim Leyland told the media, "Believe me, with all due respect to Troy Glaus, his name has never been mentioned here, to my knowledge," Leyland said. "I want to nip that in the bud."
|
Our View: The Tigers were mentioned by Ken Rosenthal as one of the team who may have interest in Glaus, but it looks like that is not the case. The Cards want to move Glaus somewhere, but they may have to look outside Detroit.
|
|
|
|
| Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports indicates that the Cardinals will try to deal Troy Glaus prior to the July 31 trade deadline. |
Our View: The third baseman is still rehabbing from shoulder surgery at Triple-A Memphis, and remains unable to throw to first base. The Braves, Giants, Tigers and Rangers are expected to watch him play this weekend.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus has been scratched from his rehab start with Triple-A Memphis tonight with back spasms, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Joe Strauss. |
Our View: Only Troy Glaus could suffer a new injury while still rehabbing a six month old one. It's likely just a precautionary move, but definitely something to keep an eye on.
|
|
|
|
| The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that Troy Glaus went 2-for-4 with an RBI in his first Triple-A rehab game for Memphis on Monday. Glaus also played left field and caught three fly balls without making an error. |
Our View: Glaus made three routine plays in the field, which is a good sign considering he has never played outfield before, but the 2-for-4 at the plate is even more encouraging. The Cards need another bat in their lineup, and if they can get anything from Glaus it would be a nice boost to the team. Expect him to get the call within the next few weeks unless he suffers another setback.
|
|
|
|
| Cardinals' beat writer Joe Strauss is reporting on his Twitter page that injured St. Louis third baseman Troy Glaus will join the team's Triple-A club in Memphis on Monday. Glaus has missed the entire season while recovering from shoulder surgery. |
Our View: Strauss believes Glaus could rejoin the Cardinals on their next road trip, but it remains to be seen what his role will be when he returns. The Cards would like to get his bat in the lineup, but there is some concern about where he will be able to play defensively. He may be worth picking up if you need a bat, but don't expect him to come out bombing right away.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus will see action in left field in a Florida State League game, and Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports believes that may be an indication that the slugger could help the Cardinals as an outfielder later this season. |
Our View: The Cardinals do not want to trade Glaus, and he is open to playing in the outfield as he wants to help the club win down the stretch. He is worth stashing in fantasy leagues.
|
|
|
|
| The Cardinals are considering a "promotion" of the rehabbing Troy Glaus (right shoulder) to Triple-A Memphis next week, according to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
Our View: Glaus has been struggling offensively so far during his rehab assignment, but it's a good sign the team thinks he's healthy enough to go to Memphis. Keep an eye on him, particularly if you could use an upgrade at third base.
|
|
|
|
| According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, injured third baseman Troy Glaus is struggling in his minor league rehab assignment. |
Our View: Glaus is hitting just .176 in four games with High-A Palm Beach and is expected to make the move to Triple-A soon. The bigger problem is that Glaus still can't throw across the diamond, so he has been playing first base and will make some starts in the outfield (to test the arm) once he arrives in Triple-A. The Cards will have to reevaluate Glaus soon, as he has about two weeks left to get his bat and arm ready before the team is forced to make a move.
|
|
|
|
| The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Joe Strauss reports that there is a "strong organizational suspicion" that Troy Glaus will require additional right shoulder surgery. |
Our View: No word on if this means that he might not be returning in 2009 after all, but it sure sounds like expectations are being lowered if he is. Glaus wasn't a great second half option for your team to begin with, but now he looks even less appetizing. If you are in dire need of help at third base, you'd be much better served by picking up, or acquiring, Alex Gordon, who is set to return on Friday after being out three months with a hip injury.
|
|
|
|
| After being out the entire season to this point, Troy Glaus is set to begin a rehab assignment today for his right shoulder at Single-A Palm Beach, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
Our View: The Cardinals can leave Glaus in the minors for 20 days. This is great news for a team who has struggled offensively for most of the season, particularly at Glaus' usual third base. If he stays healthy, he provides an immediate answer there, and extra protection for Albert Pujols. He isn't worth adding at the moment, but if he starts out hot and everything looks normal, he'll likely will be.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Twitter page of Cardinals' beat writer Joe Strauss, third baseman Troy Glaus is expected to begin a rehab assignment this weekend. If all goes well, Glaus could be activated and used in a pinch-hitting role soon after the break. |
Our View: Glaus has made some progress recently in his recovery from right shoulder surgery, and he could be available to pinch hit in just a few weeks. His fantasy value will obviously be nonexistent unless he starts to play every day, but he will be a nice option for the Cards off the bench.
|
|
|
|
| According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, injured third baseman Troy Glaus will head to the Cardinals' spring training facility in Jupiter, Florida on Thursday. |
Our View: Team officials are reporting that Glaus could go on a rehab assignment as soon as two weeks from now, which would be a huge boost for an anemic Cardinal offense. Glaus has apparently been making big strides in his rehab from a torn muscle in his shoulder. He's spend seven to ten days in Florida before being reevaluated.
|
|
|
|
| According to FoxSports.com, Cardinals' third baseman Troy Glaus has been progressing well with his hitting and he could be ready to start a rehab assignment as soon as next week. He is still struggling with his throwing, however, as he can't throw longer than 90 feet. |
Our View: If Glaus can hit, he can help a lineup, but if he can't throw then it won't be the Cardinals' lineup. With nowhere else to put him, the Cards may try to move him to an AL team looking for a DH, but Glaus would have to prove he is healthy enough to hit. It will be interesting to see how this goes down in St. Louis, so we will keep you updated.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus has been given the green light to resume baseball activities, according to the Associated Press. He is trying to return from right shoulder surgery. |
Our View: The best-case scenario for Glaus to return to St. Louis is mid-to-late July. He will begin with a throwing program and advance to hitting.
|
|
|
|
| FoxSports.com is reporting that Troy Glaus will resume throwing on Monday and hitting shortly after that. Glaus is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. |
Our View: The Cardinals want to figure out what Glaus' status is before making a move to being in another third baseman, probably either Garrett Atkins or Mark DeRosa. GM John Mozeliak has said that he wants to know where Glaus stands by the first week in June.
|
|
|
|
| Cardinals' GM John Mozeliak has a feeling that Troy Glaus is less than 50-50 to return to the diamond this season, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
Our View: He has been recovering very slowly from January shoulder surgery. The source believes the club will search for a right-handed hitter to play third, with possibilities being Mark DeRosa and Garrett Atkins. Kevin Kouzmanoff is rumored to be on the Padres' trading block, and could be considered an option as well.
|
|
|
|
| According to MLB.com, there is no optimism surrounding the Troy Glaus situation. |
Our View: Glaus' progress has slowed considerably and the team has yet to receive any positive reports about him. The Cardinals are supposed to receive official word on him next week, but apparently they aren't expecting good news. Glaus could very easily be done for the year and the Redbirds will need to start looking for replacement options at third base. Career minor leaguers Joe Thurston and Brian Barden were great in April, but have fallen hard and fast and the team will likely scour the trade market for a major league caliber impact bat. Melvin Mora, Mark DeRosa and Garrett Atkins have been listed as possibilities.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Post Dispatch, injured slugger Troy Glaus is making progress on his surgically repaired shoulder. |
Our View: The good news is the shoulder is healing. The bad news is Glaus has yet to pick up a bat or throw a ball since spring training when he was told to shut down all baseball activities. There is still no timetable for his return and the team won't even offer a glimpse of when he may be back until early June. Don't expect to see much of Glaus this season. At least not until well after the All Star break.
|
|
|
|
| Starting in November of 2003 and for the next three months, Troy Glaus admitted to injecting himself once every four days with the steroids nandrolone and testosterone, according to the NY Times. "It worked, and I was getting better," Glaus, who was recovering from a shoulder injury at the time, is quoted as saying to investigators. He also stated that he resumed using the steroids following another shoulder surgery in May of 2004 and stopped in August of 2004. These details match up well with what was disclosed about Glaus in the Mitchell Report. |
Our View: Well, hopefully Glaus isn't using steroids again in an effort to come back from his current shoulder ailment. Glaus shouldn't be punished by MLB for this, as he reportedly took the steroids before MLB instituted their new policy.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus is going to consult with Phoenix-based physical therapist Keith Kocher on scheduling matters regarding his rehab from shoulder surgery, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Glaus said, "Obviously, if I am going out there I want it to go well. First I'm going to sit down and talk with him to find out what the plan is. I have not heard anything specific yet but I probably will tomorrow then meet in person with him Wednesday." |
Our View: The Cardinals have agreed to transfer Glaus' rehab to Kocher after all parties decided his recovery had reached a plateau in March. The club does not have a timetable as to when the slugger will be ready to return to the diamond.
|
|
|
|
| The Cardinals expect to be without Troy Glaus for at least the first two months of the season and can't guarantee his return before the All-Star break, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "At this point, from everything that's been discussed, I don't think we have any real idea when we might get him back," general manager John Mozeliak said. |
Our View: While Glaus is out, David Freese will handle third base. However, don't discount the possibility that Brett Wallace could play his way into the spot.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, Cardinal third baseman Troy Glaus will miss at least two months with a shoulder setback, according to the Houston Chronicle. He will be reevaluated on June 1st. |
Our View: So Glaus will miss at least two months and the Cardinals medical staff's poor handling of the team's players continues. Glaus should have had the surgery last year and would likely be good to go now, but it was put off until January. Now he is jeopardy of missing even more time. June 1st is not his return date. Just his reevaluation date. Keep that in mind.
|
|
|
|
| The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that their is no timetable in regards to the return of Troy Glaus from shoulder surgery. He is currently working with trainers on a new rehab plan. "Right now, we're looking for a plausible way to get his recovery going again," general manager John Mozeliak said. |
Our View: This is certainly a red flag. Glaus' shoulder is not performing at the level it was expected to at this point, and it seems there is no way that he will be able to return by the first part of May, which is what was originally hoped for. If he would need any sort of second surgery, he would miss the majority, if not all, of the season. At present, it appears that David Freese will be the Cardinals third baseman in 2009.
|
|
|
|
| The Cardinals placed Troy Glaus on the 15-day DL on Saturday, according to PA SportsTicker. |
Our View: Glaus' surgically repaired right shoulder is apparently progressing, although it's tough to tell exactly where he's currently at in the rehab process given the secrecy that often surrounds injured players in the Cardinals organization. As far as we know right now, Glaus is still aiming for a return sometime in early-to-mid May, although there's no way to know for sure at the moment.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Post Dispatch, injured third baseman Troy Glaus flew to LA for a checkup on his surgically repaired shoulder. It is considered to be a routine visit. |
Our View: Glaus halted all baseball-related activities about a week ago and there is currently no timetable for his return. The Cardinals tend to handle their injured players very poorly and secretively, so there is no telling if Glaus will play at all this year. At the very least his previous May return date seems far fetched at this point.
|
|
|
|
| The Cardinals have tempered their expectations for Troy Glaus' return from January surgery to repair a muscle tear near his right shoulder, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The club was previously hopeful of him returning to the diamond in April, but his rehab has reached a plateau and he has temporarily halted baseball-related activities to let the affected area more recovery time. He said, "I look at it like picking a scab. If you keep picking it, it will eventually get better. It is just going to take a lot longer. If you leave it alone, things tend to go quicker."
|
Our View: Glaus has not swung a bat or thrown for almost a week, and there is no timetable when he may continue baseball-related drills. It looks like either David Freese or Joe Mather will be seeing more starts at third with Glaus' return set back a bit.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus hit around 20 balls off a tee Sunday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. That marks the first time Glaus has taken swings since undergoing surgery in January to repair a muscle tear near his right shoulder. |
Our View: Glaus feels that he may be back sooner than early-May. Either Joe Mather or David Freese will cover third until he is ready to return.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus is progressing in his recovery from shoulder surgery, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He has been increasing his intensity on the field, and is easing into a throwing program. |
Our View: Glaus feels that he may be back sooner than early-May, but setbacks are always an issue with shoulder rehab. Joe Mather and David Freese are battling to roam third for the start of the season while he is out.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus arrived at Cardinals camp and is recuperating from surgery, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: Glaus cannot yet throw or hit and will be out until at least late April. Rookie David Freese looks to have the best chance at playing third base until Glaus returns.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus is expected to report to spring training at the same time as the position players, and the Cardinals hope to get a more precise timetable regarding his return from arthroscopic shoulder surgery, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He will be evaluated by doctors next week. |
Our View: The club is hopeful he will be ready to play for the beginning of May, which will give him five months of action.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Wednesday, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: Glaus will start physical therapy next week and his recovery is estimated to be 12 weeks, which means he is likely to miss at least a few weeks of the season. This means Brett Wallace has a shot to break camp with the team, though David Freese or possibly Brian Barden would have a better shot to start at the beginning of the year.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was 2-for-4 on Saturday night in the Cardinals' 8-5 win over the Reds. To go along with his 26th home run, he drove in his 97th and 98th run of the year. |
Our View: Glaus has been a pleasant surprise for the Cardinals. Even though his average is only at .271 his power numbers are very respectable (26 HR and 98 RBI).
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 1-for-1 with four walks in Thursdays 12-3 victory over the Diamondbacks. Despite being on base five times, he managed to not score a single run. |
Our View: Glaus has struck out 101 times compared to 87 walks which is respectable. His batting average is just .267 but his OBP is .372.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus continues to play despite a sore shoulder, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
Our View: The injury is not affecting his swing as he has blasted two homers over his last six games. He should remain a favorable source of power for the final week of the season.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field. |
Our View: Glaus collected his 25th homer of the season, with four coming in September. He should remain a favorable source of power heading into the final week of the season.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus homered in his first at-bat back in the starting lineup Tuesday after missing a few games with a shoulder injury. He also added a single. |
Our View: It's good to see that Glaus apparently hasn't lost any pop. He'll need to get hot over the next two weeks if he wants to get to 100 RBI.
|
|
|
|
| MLB.com reports that Troy Glaus has been added to Tuesday's lineup despite nursing a sore shoulder. |
Our View: Glaus has just two at bats since September 9th and he can't be expected to bring his usual pop from here on out. The Cardinals certainly need him to perform after being swept by Pittsburgh over the weekend.
|
|
|
|
| Glaus (shoulder) is holding out hope that he can play in Sunday's game, the Cardinals' team website reports. |
Our View: It sounds like he will return at some point this week, if not Sunday.
|
|
|
|
| Updating an earlier report, Troy Glaus's ailing shoulder is the result of a rotator cuff strain and tendintits, according to Cardinals.com. "If the medication does what it's supposed to do, then in two or three days it will be fine," Glaus said. "Then we can strengthen it and keep going." |
Our View: Well that certainly is good news considering how bad the injury sounds. There has been a lot of speculation that Glaus might be done for the year, but it appears he will play if he can tolerate the pain. He hopes to be able to return this weekend.
|
|
|
|
| The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Joe Strauss stated on a chat Wednesday that he is skeptical about Troy Glaus returning this season. Glaus has been dealing with a sore right shoulder for a few weeks and the injury flared up after a check swing Tuesday. |
Our View: We should know more about Glaus' status after an MRI today. Look for the Cards to possibly call up David Freese to help out at third if Glaus is out for an extended period of time.
|
|
|
|
| Cardinals third baseman Troy Glaus will be unavailable for a few days and will have an MRI on his right shoulder, which has been bothering him lately and forced him to leave the game on Tuesday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. |
Our View: Glaus has been an effective third baseman for fantasy owners this season, with 23 home runs and 89 RBI. Be sure to update your rosters accordingly until he returns to the lineup.
|
|
|
|
| After striking out against Ryan Dempster in the third inning, Troy Glaus injured his right shoulder. According to Cardinals.com the injury was classified as a strained right shoulder. |
Our View: Glaus had been showing a power surge lately hitting in front of Albert Pujols and has had a solid year with 23 home runs and 89 RBI.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus hit his 300th career home run Wednesday off of Arizona's Doug Davis. |
Our View: Glaus' promotion to the 2 spot in front of Albert Pujols has woken this giant. He now has home runs in back-to-back games.

| Troy Glaus had a good night for the Cardinals, going 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI to help St. Louis beat Arizona 8-2. |
Our View: Glaus hit second in front of Albert Pujols in order to get some good pitches to hit, and it worked. He was also just feet away from hitting another home run on a deep fly ball that ended up foul. He has a good chance to get to 100 RBI by the end of the season.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus had a great night, going 4-for-4 with one run scored, one RBI and a walk to help lead the Cardinals in their victory over the Marlins. |
Our View: Tonight saw Glaus' August batting average jump 64 points from .231 to .295. Keep him in the lineup, as he will always be a streaky hitter, but one that can provide power.
|
|
|
|
| A day after pummeling the Cubs with two home runs and five RBI, Troy Glaus returned to his previous struggles against the Cubs, with an 0-for-3 night featuring two strikeouts. |
Our View: Glaus still has just three hits all year against the Cubs in 37 at-bats. He is a streaky hitter but will provide fantasy owners with plenty of pop, making it easier to deal with his ups and downs.
|
|
|
|
| It was a tale of two cities as the Cardinals and Cubs battled in Chicago today, but the visitors stole the thunder and put the 12-3 beating on the north siders, an effort largely built on the work of third baseman Troy Glaus . Glaus was amazing with the bat, going 3-for-5 with two home runs on the day, his 20th and 21st of the season, totaling five RBIs and two runs scored. |
Our View: Glaus smacked seven homers through July and now has three for August, also sporting seven RBIs through the month thus far (though all were posted in just two games).
|
|
|
|
| Cardinals third baseman Troy Glaus has yet to get a hit against the Chicago Cubs this season, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Amazingly, the slugger is 0-for-29 with 12 strikeouts against St. Louis' division rivals. |
Our View: It's probably a coincidence, but it's pretty startling. Surely he'll get a hit off of them at some point, and fantasy owners are hoping that will come this weekend, as his numbers have taken a slide recently.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 0-for-5 on Friday and is now 0-for-29 against the Cubs this season. |
Our View: Some stats are just plain shocking aren't they? Glaus is also 5-for-27 in August to drop his average to .267 overall. Always streaky, the vacillation is nothing new.
|
|
|
|
| Like many of his Cardinals brethren, Troy Glaus failed to get a hit in St. Louis' 4-1 loss to the Dodgers. |
Our View: After a scorching July, Glaus now has just two RBI so far in August, along with a .217 batting average. Glaus can be streaky though, so fantasy owners should bear with him unless it gets worse.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers. |
Our View: His hitless streak extends to three games, and he is 0-for-10 over the span. Glaus should be confined to their bench until he proves to be effective again.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus had another 0-for performance on Wednesday going 0-for-6 for the Cardinals leaving him 0-for-6 over his last two outings, this coming right on the heels of a 10-game hitting streak. |
Our View: Don't go panicking here as Glaus is still hitting .280, substantially above his career .256 mark in his first year in the NL. The power is legit, and hitting in the middle of the Cards lineup he should continue to produce solid numbers.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was 0-for-3 with a walk on Tuesday, ending a 10-game hitting streak in which he batted .525 (21-for-40) with five homers.
|
Our View: Glaus has surprised many with his rebound effort. Beware of a possible slump ahead for the streaky third baseman.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus doubled in the first inning on Monday. The hit not only generated a run, it also moved Glaus' hitting streak to 10 games. |
Our View: This veteran slugger is not known for hitting streaks, but he is on a very hot run right now. Fantasy owners should enjoy it.
|
|
|
|
| The Cards put the 9-5 win against San Diego on the board today with some help from third baseman Troy Glaus , going 2-for-4 at the plate with his 18th home run of the season to rope in three RBIs and two runs scored on the day. |
Our View: Glaus is glazing in July, hitting .371 with seven homers and 14 RBIs thus far. Over his last six games, he's roasted five long balls into the seats, good for nine RBIs.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was 2-for-4 with two solo home runs off of Jake Peavy on Thursday. He now has four home runs in his last three games. |
Our View: Glaus' power numbers have come around and he should end up with 100 RBI and 30 HRs barring injury.
|
|
|
|
| The Pittsburgh Pirates will have nightmares about Troy Glaus, as he continues to crush them. He went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a home run today, and is now hitting an absurd .510 against Pittsburgh for the season. |
Our View: Glaus started to head up as the All-Star break came around, and he is a good source of power and RBI for your fantasy squad. His average will fluctuate, but it is worth it if you need home runs and RBI.
|
|
|
|
| The Cardinals found disappointment after 10 innings, losing 12-11 to the Pirates, though veteran outfielder Troy Glaus did what he could to change the ending. Glaus went 4-for-4 at the plate with two walks and his 14th homer of the season, recording two RBIs and two runs scored. |
Our View: Glaus is hitting .237 for the month of June but now has three homers and seven RBIs through those 11 games.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went yard twice on Wednesday, including once to win the game in the ninth. The Cardinals slugger has 11 home runs in his last 107 at-bats. |
Our View: Glaus had just two home runs before May 31 and had many skeptics referencing his name in the Mitchell Report as the reason for his lack of power. Glaus had another explanation right before he went on this tear: when the weather heats up he heats up. What's nearly as impressive is that he has 47 walks compared to just 50 strikeouts. This ratio is by far the best of his career.
|
|
|
|
| The Cardinals had to fight and find efficiency on offense, but they pulled the 8-7 win over the Mets with a strong performance from veteran third baseman Troy Glaus . Glaus hit 2-for-4 with one walk and two homers (his 11th and 12th of the season) to total four RBIs and two runs scored on the night. |
Our View: Glaus has been belting homer with regularity but hopes to get his average up, hitting just .276 for the month of June. With that said, he posted eight homers with 17 RBIs along the way, a nice bit of statistical nourishment for the fantasy owner in need of such numbers.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Royals. |
Our View: He has 11 homers and 49 RBI over 80 games. Eight of those home runs have come in June, and he should remain active in your lineups.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus ripped a grand slam and added a single in Saturday's 9-3 win over Boston. Glaus has really heated up in June, with a .275-7-14 line in 19 games. |
Our View: Glaus is a streak hitter, and he's in the midst of a hot streak right now. Ride the wave while he's hot.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Phillies, which took 10 innings to decide. |
Our View: That was his sixth homer of June, and 10th RBI of the month as well. Continue to pencil him into your lineups while he remains hot.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus is enjoying a power surge as he has belted six home runs over his last 12 games, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: He should remain in your lineup while he is hot, especially tonight against the Phillies' Kyle Kendrick, who has allowed eight homers over 13 starts.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus hit his eight long ball of the year on Thursday but it wasn't nearly enough as the Cardinals lost 6-2 to the Reds. |
Our View: With Albert Pujols on the shelf, the club sorely needs Glaus to step up and fill a run producing void in the middle of the lineup. He has gone deep five times in his last 11 days, so his bat is warming up at the perfect time.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 4-1 win over Washington. |
Our View: That was his fifth homer of the season, to go along with 36 RBI. That was his second homer over four contests in June, and perhaps he is finally starting to find his power stroke in St Louis.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus hit his fourth home run of the season helping the Cardinals' to a 7-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. |
Our View: Glaus hasn't been the source of power St. Louis hoped for when acquiring the third baseman from Toronto. However, he has driven in 34 this season while scoring 20 runs.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 1-for-2 with an RBI and hit his third homer of the season in Saturday's 14-4 loss to the Pirates. |
Our View: That was his first homer since May 18, and his first RBI since May 21. It was nice to see the veteran third baseman end May on a positive note.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus checked out fine following his hospital visit, according to the AP. Glaus said, "It’s something I’ve never felt before, so obviously you’re going to have to be a little bit alarmed. It looked like it kind of peaked and wasn’t really getting worse for about an hour or an hour and a half, and that made me feel a little bit more comfortable. They ran the whole battery of tests—blood test, ultrasound, all that. It was all precautionary. They could tell me what it wasn’t, but not what it was. It could have been anything. But everybody over there was fantastic and got us through there as seamlessly and quickly as they could."
|
Our View: Glaus returned to the Cardinals' lineup on Sunday after a brief bout with stomach pains, which forced him out of a game on Saturday that resulted in the trip to the hospital. The pain had subsided sometime around midnight before Glaus checked out of the hospital, and he was not given any medication.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus left Saturday's game in the ninth inning and was taken to the hospital after complaining of stomach pains, according to the LA Times. |
Our View: Early speculation is that the ailment could be a possible appendicitis. We will keep you posted when his status is updated.
|
|
|
|
| St. Louis third baseman Troy Glaus continues to work as the voice of offense for th Cardinals, but his efforts were not enough to overcome the 3-2 loss to the San Diego Padres. Glaus went 2-for-4 on the night with his 15th double on the season to drive in his 29th RBI of the season, also adding a run scored. |
Our View: Glaus has gone 17-for-38 since May 11th with eight walks versus just three strikeouts over that span.
|
|
|
|
| The St Louis Post-Dispatch reports that third baseman Troy Glaus , who during the last home stand wondered whether he had an allergic reaction that limited his ability to see during night games at Busch, had a hit in five of the six games in this home stand. |
Our View: Glaus singled in two runs in his first at-bat Saturday and, after going 0-for-4 Sunday, finished the home stand 11-for-26 (.423 average).
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus hit his second home run of the season on Tuesday as he went 2-for-5 with three RBI for the Cardinals. |
Our View: 131 AB and just two home runs from Glaus? Simply amazing. Glaus continues to knock in runs despite a lack of the longball and he now has 24 RBI in 40 games for the Red Birds. The power is coming, just be patient.
|
|
|
|
| St. Louis 3B Troy Glaus is out of the lineup for the Cardinals today as the team battles with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to TSN.ca. |
Our View: Glaus left Friday night's game against Milwaukee in the third inning with a bruised left triceps, hit by a pitch from Manny Parra . The team does not believe the injury to be serious and believes Glaus will not be missing significant time.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus left after the Cardinals batted in the third with a bruised left tricep. He was hit by a pitch the inning before. |
Our View: La Russa said afterward Glaus couldn't straighten his arm and would be re-evaluated Saturday.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus, who was acquired in an offseason trade that sent Scott Rolen to Toronto, entered Saturday's game leading the major leagues with the most RBI without a home run. That streak ended on Sunday as the slugger lead the Cardinals to a 5-1 win over Houston with a towering two-run home run to center field. |
Our View: Glaus went 87 at-bats before hitting a 1-1 offering from Brandon Backe (1-3) to center field for his 16th and 17th RBI of the season.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus failed to hit a home run on Wednesday night but he still knocked in two runs for the Cardinals. |
Our View: It's just amazing that Glaus has gone 75 AB without a home run. He does have 14 RBI, and provided he can stay healthy this season he figures to be a valuable RBI source from the middle of the Cards lineup.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus continues to work his way out of a small slump. The third baseman went 3-for-7 with a double and a run on Tuesday. Glaus is 6-for-12 with four doubles over the last three games. |
Our View: Oh, if only those doubles added up to two homers. The slugger is still seeking his first long ball of the season, but we have a feeling Troy will hit them in bunches before too long.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus had two RBIs and two BB on Monday night though he still has failed to go deep in 64 AB. |
Our View: For a guy that has hit at least 29 HR in every season of his career that he has totaled 500 AB, this slow start with the long ball is extremely disturbing. Still history is on his side, so if he can just stay healthy the home runs should come.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus admits that his swing is a little off right now, and he worked on his mechanics after being pulled from Thursday's game. "I went to the cage during the game and started hitting. Figure it out, you know. There are some flaws in it right now that we need to fix," he tells the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "It's just off." |
Our View: We don't expect the veteran to stay in a funk too long. He is prone to streaks, and it's good to hear he's being proactive about figuring things odd.
|
|
|
|
| Slugger Troy Glaus is currently riding a seven game hitting streak, as he sets to extend it today against hurler Matt Cain and the Giants, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: Cain is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA, and Glaus should have the upper hand today.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 1-for-3 against San Francisco on Thursday, and recorded the team's only RBI in a 5-1 loss. He now has seven RBI over 10 games played this season. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored from the cleanup spot for the Cardinals on Monday. The team needs Glaus to stay healthy enough to provide that big home run bat behind Albert Pujols, but that is far from certain to occur as Glaus has failed to see action in 120 games in three of the past five seasons. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus went 0-for-4 with a strikeout against Colorado on Tuesday. Glaus is going to play a reduced amount of games to keep him healthier this season, and this was a terrible outing for him. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus could be limited this season, according to MLB.com. Manager LaRussa looks like he is going to be cautious with the battle worn vet this season and stated, "We're going to pay a lot of attention to him. If it looks like he could use a rest, we're going to give it to him. If we had to rest him one game a series, I'd be all right with that. That'd give him 120 games." This would cut into his at-bats, but could keep him healthier over the duration of the season.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was held out of the Monday spring contest today in Fort Myers, Fla., this according to the Cardinals team website. Glaus reported to work on Monday with a stiff back. Glaus told the press the injury wasn't serious. However, any injury with Glaus should be noted. |
|
|
|
| Federal prosecutors are investigating a doctor that reportedly prescribed drugs for major league baseball players, the New York Times reported Wednesday. Ramon Scruggs, a physician previously linked to major leaguers Troy Glaus and Scott Schoeneweis in media reports, is the target of the investigation by prosecutors in the Northern District of California. Scruggs has not yet been charged with any crimes in the investigation. |
|
|
|
| The foot surgery Troy Glaus underwent on Monday was a success, according to the Toronto Sun. "Everything went well," general manager J.P. Ricciardi said. This relieves the problem and the doctor is really confident that he'll be 100% for spring training next year." |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus underwent foot surgery on Monday, according to the AP. "From what I understand, the nerve was really restricted. They opened it up, and now it's freed up," general manager J.P. Ricciardi said. "It relieves the pain, relieves the pressure. The doctor is really confident he'll be ready for spring training." If this surgery does correct Glaus' foot problems, he could provide solid value in drafts in 2008. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus will undergo surgery next week to correct a nerve problem in his left foot, sidelining him for the rest of the season, according to the Toronto Sun. "The procedure is a nerve decompression surgery," Blue Jay general manager J.P. Ricciardi said. "He should be moving around within a month and should have no problem being ready for spring training." This was an injury that has bothered Glaus since the beginning of the season. At the very least, Glaus sitting out the rest of the year will save him from having to deal with all of the HGH speculation. |
|
|
|
| Blue Jays third baseman Troy Glaus will undergo season-ending surgery next week to repair a nerve in his left foot, according to the Associated Press. "The surgery is a nerve decompression surgery," general manager J.P. Ricciardi said. "He's going to have a consultation later this week, just to kind of get ready for it, then he's going to have the surgery Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday." |
Our View: The surgery will force Glaus to rest for about a month, but he should be ready to go in time for spring training in February.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus had another MRI on his sore left heel Tuesday and could miss the remainder of the season, GM J.P. Ricciardi told the AP. Glaus left Monday's game at Detroit after experiencing pain while going from first to third on a single and had been bothered for much of the season by plantar fasciitis in his left heel. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus didn't start Sunday because of soreness caused by plantar fasciitis in his left foot. This is a problem Glaus has had for awhile, according to the AP. He did pinch hit and drew a walk. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday due to a left foot injury, according to the AP. Glaus has dealt with the problem for a while now, and owners should expect him to receive occasional days off like this for the remainder of the season. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was back in the lineup Wednesday and went 2-for-3 with a walk. According to the AP, he's been playing with plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tissue that connects the heel to the base of the toes. Glaus, who wore new orthotics Wednesday, said the condition has led to heel and ankle soreness. Surgery will not be required, and offseason rest should cure the problem. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Tuesday due to a lower leg problem, according to the AP. "The doctors are looking at his ankle and we'll have a better idea of what can be done and what can't be done," GM J.P. Ricciardi said. "It might be a surgery in the offseason, just to clean it out." We should know more about Glaus' situation within the next couple of days. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was a late scratch from the lineup on Monday because of a sore left foot, according to the AP. He was replaced by Hector Luna. |
Our View: He fouled a ball off the foot back in July and has had to miss time here and there ever since. He should be back in the lineup on Tuesday or Wednesday.
|
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus, who left Wednesday's game after fouling a ball off his left foot, will not play this weekend, according to the AP. Glaus, who has missed time this season with heel and hamstring soreness, will get seven consecutive days off if he rests through the all-star break. "The doc said a week off should do him wonders," manager John Gibbons said. John McDonald and Howie Clark will split time at third base in Glaus' absence. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus left Wednesday's game in the third inning with an injured left foot, the AP reports. X-rays were inconclusive and Glaus will be checked out again Thursday at home. |
|
|
|
| The Blue Jays are now willing to listen to offers for Troy Glaus, according to Fox Sports. Glaus, who has a no-trade clause in his contract, is hitting .295 this season with a .557 slugging percentage. The teams considered most likely to acquire him are the Angels, Dodgers, and Padres. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus (ankle) was held out of Saturday's lineup, in part because it was a day game after a night game, the Blue Jays official site reports. Glaus is expected to play Sunday. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus returned to the lineup Thursday against the White Sox after missing one game with a tight hamstring. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was held out of Wednesday's lineup due to a tight left hamstring, the AP reports. He's considered day-to-day. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was a late scratch from Tuesday's game against the Yankees because of a tight hamstring, according to the AP. He was replaced by John McDonald. Glaus landed on the disabled list in April because of a sore left heel caused by a bone spur, then sat out again for a few days earlier this month with a recurrence of the same injury. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was given Sunday off to rest his sore left heel, according to the Toronto Sun. He's hitless in his past 16 at-bats, so hopefully the respite will help him turn things around at the plate. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus missed his second straight game Sunday with a sore left heel, according to the AP. However, manager John Gibbons did say that Glaus was making progress. It's unclear if he'll be back in the lineup on Monday. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was held out of the lineup Saturday as he underwent tests on his sore heel, the AP reports. Manager John Gibbons said Glaus isn't likely to play Sunday. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus left Friday night's game against the Devil Rays after just one at-bat when he suffered an apparent leg injury while running out a fly ball, according to the AP. He appeared to stumble halfway to first base, and yelled out in pain. He bent over behind the bag, then limped off the field alongside trainer George Poulis. Glaus missed 14 games earlier this season because of a sore left heel. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus was activated from the 15-day disabled list on Saturday. He played third base and batted sixth for the Blue Jays, going 1-for-2 with a run and an RBI in a losing effort. He was on the DL with an injured heel and also had complained of a gimpy hamstring. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus still might come off the disabled list when eligible today, according to the Toronto Sun. "He's a little better," manager John Gibbons said. "He's getting there. We'll see." Glaus is recovering from a sore heel. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus appeared to still be favoring his left heel during running drills Thursday, the Blue Jays official site reports. It's not clear yet if Glaus will come off the disabled list Saturday, as the club had originally hoped. "He'll go out there and go through the routine, and we'll see how he feels," manager John Gibbons said. "[We need to see] if he can run. He can swing. It'll flare up on him on and off, but he's got to be able to move laterally and be able to run the bases." |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus joined the Blue Jays in New York on Wednesday, played catch on the field, and did some hitting in the cage, the team's official site reports. John Gibbons expects Glaus to be ready to come off the DL as planned on Saturday. The third baseman is returning from a sore left heel. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus, on the DL with a sore left heel, isn't eligible to come off the disabled list until Saturday, but he's expected to join the Blue Jays to work out with the team before games tomorrow and Thursday, according to the Toronto Sun. "We'll see how he is and hopefully he'll be ready to go," said manager John Gibbons.
|
|
|
|
| The Blue Jays officially placed Troy Glaus on the disabled list Tuesday with a sore left heel and tight hamstring, according to the AP. The move is retroactive to last Friday, making Glaus eligible to return on April 28. John McDonald and Jason Smith will fill in at third base while Glaus is sidelined. |
|
|
|
| The Blue Jays will place Troy Glaus on the DL Tuesday due to a sore left heel, GM J.P. Ricciardi told ESPN's Buster Olney Monday. Glaus hasn't played since Thursday because of the injury. Jason Smith and John McDonald have been filling in for Glaus at third. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus will miss his third straight game Sunday, but the Jays hope to have him back in the lineup Tuesday, according to the AP. Glaus is dealing with a left heel and a hamstring problem. |
|
|
|
| Troy Glaus is expected to be sidelined for a few days because of a bone spur in his left heel and a hamstring problem, but the Blue Jays are hoping that he'll be able to avoid a DL stint, according to the AP. "We're going to back him off for a few days and let his hammy and his heel kind of get a little more treatment," GM J.P. Ricciardi said. "But he should be OK." Glaus first developed the heel problem last Saturday. |
|

|
|
|
