<p>Closer Huston Street, who converted 35 of 37 save opportunities last year, is dealing with inflammation in his right shoulder, saying his condition has improved and the situation is normal for early in spring training.</p>
<p>Street has thrown four times in spring training. He threw three bullpen sessions, the second 10-minute outing being the most intense, and then threw 10 minutes of batting practice Feb. 26. He said he felt "normal" coming off the mound but "was pretty stiff" the next day.</p>
<p>Street then rested for two days. He said he began taking anti-inflammatory medication March 1 and played catch from 90 feet on March 2.</p> <p>"It definitely feels a little bit better," said Street, who signed a three-year, $22.5 million contract after going 4-1 with a 3.06 ERA last year in 64...
Although Yorvit Torrealba's son is safe, the San Diego Padres catcher still fears for the rest of his family. Nine months after his son was kidnapped by five men in Caracas, Venezuela, and later returned unharmed, Torrealba said his son and wife are now living in Miami and adjusting to their new lives.
Zack Greinke was far more pleased with his first start than with the three innings he threw for the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Nonetheless, he extended his scoreless streak this spring to six consecutive innings, allowing two hits in that stretch. Greinke, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, threw 51 pitches -- 31 for strikes -- to help the Royals...
Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy named Ubaldo Jimenez his Opening Day starter on Wednesday. The assignment had been expected since the start of spring training. Tracy said he waited until the day after Jimenez had a strong start to make it official. He pitched three scoreless innings Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Rockies left-hander Jeff Francis is hoping his second spring start goes better than his first. Francis missed last season following shoulder surgery and was hit hard in his first spring start against San Francisco on Friday. He is scheduled to face the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. "I'm on course, I'd say.
Colorado Rockies closer Huston Street says he has been notified that federal investigators might want to talk to him about a Canadian doctor being investigated in probes involving HGH and another drug. Street says he was told by his agents that he "might be interviewed by the U.S. attorney's office regarding the case or by the commissioner's office or both." Street says he visited...
Jorge De La Rosa picked up right where he left off last season. The Rockies starter tossed three scoreless innings, and Miguel Olivo had three hits and three RBIs in the Colorado's 5-4 win over the San Diego Padres on Monday. De La Rosa, who was 16-8 with a 4.38 ERA in 33 games last season, limited the Padres to a hit and a walk while striking out two in his first start of the spring.

Tim Redding, vying for a spot on Colorado's staff, started and allowed three hits and run in the Rockies' 8-6 victory against a Milwaukee Brewers' split-squad Saturday. Redding is in camp on a minor league deal. The Rockies might be in need of a starter if Jeff Francis isn't ready to begin the regular season after missing all of 2009 following shoulder surgery.
If Colorado Rockies right fielder Brad Hawpe avoids another second-half swoon this season, he'll have Scott Podsednik to thank. They were Rockies teammates in 2008. Podsednik moved on to the Chicago White Sox last year, and the two outfielders spoke in September. At the time, Hawpe, a first time All-Star last season, said he felt "run down." Podsednik, meanwhile, was finishing up a...
Never mind the hard hit three-run homer he gave up to Juan Uribe. Jeff Francis felt good. And that's a big deal. After missing 18 months because of shoulder problems that required surgery, Francis was back on the mound again. He gave up four runs, four hits and two walks in two innings of the Colorado Rockies' 7-4, split-squad loss to the San Francisco Giants on Friday.
Next time, maybe Ubaldo Jimenez will just take the team bus. Held up by a traffic jam, Jimenez arrived too late to start Friday and instead made his spring training debut out of the bullpen for the Colorado Rockies. Slated to pitch against the Los Angeles Angels, Jimenez opted to drive himself to the ballpark rather than ride with the team.

New baseball players' union head Michael Weiner may speak with management officials during spring training to discuss possible changes to the postseason schedule. Following criticism by Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia and others last fall, baseball commissioner Bud Selig said he would like to tighten the schedule.
