Rays' Edwin Uceta Suffers Shoulder Setback, Doctor Visit Scheduled

Rays pitcher Edwin Uceta (shoulder) experienced a setback, reporting he 'didn't feel great' while playing catch Thursday. Manager Kevin Cash confirmed Uceta will visit a doctor following his initial report to camp with a sore shoulder, making an IL stint to begin the season a distinct possibility. Uceta, a candidate for the closer role, withdrew from the WBC due to discomfort. Last season, he made 70 relief appearances, going 10-3 with a 3.70 ERA, and won his arbitration case for $1.525M. Further details are expected after his medical evaluation.
