Closer Paul Sewald has grade 2 oblique strain
Photo by Chris Coduto/Getty ImagesThe Diamondbacks bullpen suffered a significant blow today, with the announcement by manager Torey Lovullo that closer Paul Sewald had suffered a grade two strain of his left oblique muscle, so looks set to start the season on the injured list for Arizona. Lovullo refused to give a time-table in regard to Sewald’s return, but would say that it was going to be “weeks not days” before he returns. Here’s what Lovullo had to say at Chase Field, ahead of tonight’s warm-up game against the Guardians.
