Greg Bird was scheduled to be in today’s starting lineup against the Braves, but he ended up being a late scratch with a “sore right foot.” At this time, it’s unclear whether this is a new injury or if Bird has been dealing with this for awhile. If it’s the latter, then that could explain why he hasn’t been having a very good spring. One thing to note is that this is being called a foot injury, rather than an ankle injury. It was his right ankle that he had surgery on last year.
