On Sunday, Jake Barrett informed the media that he had experienced shoulder stiffness since the start of spring workouts with the Arizona Diamondbacks, and he has not thrown a bullpen session.
Before Sunday’s game against the Colorado Rockies, Manager Torey Lovullo informed Venom Strikes that the 25-year-old right-hander had been shut down indefinitely.
“Just a little stiffness, didn’t feel right so I shut it down, got an MRI and it’s perfectly fine,” Barrett said, speaking to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com
The MRI showed inflammation in the right shoulder, but no structural damage. Barrett has started light throwing.
