Injuries: Smoak/Heyward?

by DJSlam on Jun 15, 2009 1:26 PM EDT

If anyone can help me find some recent info on either of these guys regarding their injuries, that would be very helpful. I did a search, and all I could find was an article from Baseball America from about 2 weeks ago saying that neither has played a game since the end of May. I believe Smoak has an oblique issue, and Heyward an injury to his side? I'd like to know when either of these will be expected back, thanks.

oblique strains

Both have Oblique strains. Smoak could return in 7-10 days per an update yesterday from Rangers assistant GM.

Heyward – I don’t exactly know when he is expected back. Both injuries are not seen as serious and I bet the respective organizations are just taking it overly cautious with their prized position prospects.

From June 3rd:

Jason Heyward, rf, Braves: Heyward hasn’t played since May 26 with what’s being described as “side pain.” The Myrtle Beach Sun News reported the injury in early May as a hip flexory injury.

A strained left oblique has landed Smoak on the DL.
