The Dodgers were dealt perhaps their biggest blow of the spring injury-wise when the team’s medical staff revealed that lefty reliever Tony Cingrani would miss the beginning of the season with shoulder soreness.
Although not specific in nature, the soreness is the same injury that sidelined the 29 year old for the second half of last season.
“The same shoulder issue he had last year came back. So we’re going to shut him down and hopefully calm this shoulder thing down,” skipper Dave Roberts told Bill Plunkett of the OC Register late Thursday.
