Austin Vernon (elbow) shut down from throwing
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Austin Vernon will be shut down for a little while and is expected to remain sidelined for some time.
Fantasy Impact
Vernon is dealing with right elbow soreness, which has kept him from pitching during spring training. He remains without a clear timeline for return and could begin the season on the injured list. Although he has yet to pitch at the big-league level, Vernon posted an impressive 2.98 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 56 strikeouts in 48.1 innings between Double-A and Triple-A last season.
