As wonderful as it is, even Opening Day is not impervious to injuries. Four players have hit the DL since yesterday and Scott Baker may be in for some bad news.
In case you missed them, we presented our first DL Graphs of the year yesterday. Expect more of the same each week!
Here's the latest injury breakdown:
