Marlins Hold Ichiro Out Of Workouts Following Collision

JUPITER (CBSMiami/AP) — One of the most durable players in MLB history is dealing with an injury just days into Spring Training.

The Miami Marlins held Ichiro Suzuki out of workouts following an outfield collision during what officials termed a “communications drill.”

Ichiro was kneed in the quadriceps on Tuesday by fellow outfielder Brandon Barnes, sending the 43-year-old Ichiro tumbling to the ground.
