Blue Jays' Gavin Floyd: Uncertain about health of shoulder
Floyd says he's still not fully recovered from the strained shoulder that ended his 2016 season in June, John Lott reports.
Analysis:
After spending the first 11 years of his MLB career as a starter, Floyd became a full-time reliever in 2016. He admits that he still prepared like a starter and threw too many pitches in his mid-week bullpen sessions. The veteran right-hander attributes his injury woes to the self-imposed workload and is now uncertain where his health stands as Opening Day inches closer. A fierce battle for two bullpen spots is underway at Jays' camp, and Floyd's chances at earning one of those roles is seemingly fading fast.
