Shoulder Concerns Sideline Carlos Martinez

Concerned about the strength of the muscles around his right shoulder, the Cardinals transferred right-hander Carlos Martinez to a no-throw program for the next two weeks, manager Mike Shildt announced on Tuesday.

Some of the same concerns that hounded Carlos Martinez throughout this past season and left the righthanded pitcher "afraid," in his words, to throw at full strength have resurfaced and halted his spring training.

Mike Shildt announced Tuesday morning that Carlos Martinez will be on a “no-throw” program for two weeks after the strength in his pitching shoulder was determined not to have been at the level the team had hoped. Martinez had an MRI Monday, which Shildt says revealed no structural damage, emphasizing that scans of his shoulder structure looked identical to what they did in 2016.
