TUCSON, Ariz. – Joe Crede was back in action on Saturday morning, taking batting practice with his teammates, as well as facing live pitching.
Crede was plunked on the left hand by Mike MacDougal on Thursday, and was taken to the hospital for X-Rays. All the tests came back negative, but the hand was swollen enough on Friday that Crede was shut down from any batting practice.
After another day of treatment, the hand was noticeably back to normal size and Crede was cleared to go ahead and participate in the full workout.
Trade has-been injury prone CREDE now!!!!!!!!!!!
