Knee swelling forces Eflin to rest Friday
Zach Eflin talks with Scott Palmer about recovering from offseason knee surgery and getting ready for the 2017 seasonCLEARWATER, Fla. -- Zach Eflin could not throw Friday because of swelling in his right knee, but he said he is scheduled to have a bullpen session Monday.
Eflin, 22, had surgeries last year to repair the patellar tendons in his left and right knees following 10-12 years of chronic issues. He said earlier this week that his knees felt great. But then he tweaked his right knee running sprints on Thursday.
