Former West, ISU standout Stewart battling shoulder issue

Brock Stewart arrived in Arizona for spring training with the Los Angeles Dodgers in mid February.

Unfortunately for the former Normal West High School and Illinois State standout, he has yet to leave.

Rotator cuff inflammation in his throwing shoulder has sent Stewart to the disabled list to open the season. He is rehabilitating at the team’s spring training headquarters in Glendale, Ariz.

“I was very glad when they told me it was just inflammation and there was no structural damage,” Stewart said. “I’m already a lot better. Five or six days ago, I picked up a ball again.
