Some Class AAA Indianapolis injury news: Nick Yorke has been placed on the 7-day injured list with a shoulder injury. The move is retroactive to April 4.
Ben Cherington said today that Yorke has experienced soreness in his right shoulder dating back to the end of spring training. It flared up a little bit more a couple of days ago before they decided to shut things down for a little bit.
"He's an important player for us. We don't want him playing compromised and have to grind through, not this early anyways," Cherington said. "Right now, we expect that this will be a relatively short stint on the IL for him. We'll take it a day at a time and see how he's responding. Want to get that taken care of so it doesn't creep into his season."
