Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly announced that veteran outfielder Curtis Granderson is dealing with some calf soreness. The news of the injury comes after it was announced that Victor Victor Mesa, the team’s No. 2 minor league prospect, has been sent to a rehab assignment in the Minors for a hamstring injury he suffered over the weekend.
Granderson, who signed a minor league deal with the Marlins earlier this month, is being counted on to make the 25-man roster and compete for a starting spot in the outfield. The soon-to-be 38-year-old is not considered an everyday starter anymore, but his experience should prove to be helpful with the young team the organization has put together.
