Uceta's MRI Reveals Shoulder Inflammation; Expected to Resume Throwing Soon

An MRI on Edwin Uceta's shoulder showed inflammation and a slight impingement, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. This is considered positive news for the Rays' bullpen arm. Uceta will receive a cortisone shot and is expected to resume throwing within approximately a week. While he may be cutting it close for Opening Day, he is not anticipated to miss extended regular-season action, though Griffin Jax's draft stock may rise temporarily.
