Right now, Jeff Ferrell has been unable to show off his skills to the Grapefruit League because of a right shoulder injury. Brad Ausmus announced that Ferrell will not be pitching until his shoulder is better. Prior to the injury, he threw in two innings against the Washington Nationals. He gave up a run after allowing two hits and a walk.
Since Ferrell is a minor league pitcher, his injury does not have a big effect on the Lakeland team. But, the injury is troublesome nonetheless, especially since it is not the first time Ferrell has experienced some type of shoulder discomfort.
