ST. PETERSBURG -- Despite having to leave Thursday night's game after getting
hit on the right shoulder by a line drive, Jeff Niemann appears to be on track
to make his next start Tuesday night against the Orioles.
Niemann played catch Saturday and said there was a "marked improvement" in the
condition of his shoulder since getting hit by the smash off the bat of Miguel
Tejada.
"It was good," Niemann said. "I was able to move it around, get the blood
flowing. It went well. It's still sore, and it's not 100 percent, but it's very
good. ... Today was very encouraging. If we keep making progress like this, we
should be fine for the next start."
Niemann's bullpen session Sunday will determine whether he makes his start. If
he can't make the start, Andy Sonnanstine will likely fill that role.
