Around the Clubhouse
Danny Santana
On calf injury:
"It happened in the moment. I felt normal before, I was doing everything normally, it just happened in the moment."
Taylor Hearn
On performance yesterday:
"It felt great. Arm-wise, mentally, everything just felt great. I think that was the biggest thing was trying to get back out there. I haven't seen live batters in months. Everything felt great."
On mindset going into next outing:
"My main mentality every time I go out is to not change anything. It's to go out there and pitch with confidence, not to worry, and trust my stuff."
Injury Report
Danny Santana (left calf tightness)
Santana's calf is self-described as a "cramp." Day-to-day for now.
Kyle Gibson (ulcerative colitis)
Ahead of expectations. He has a live bullpen session tomorrow.
Robinson Chirinos (right hamstring strain)
Injured the hamstring in January. He's about a week behind. He will look to get into games next week.
Sam Travis (right hamstring strain)
Injured the hamstring in January. He's about a week behind.
Yohander Mendez (shoulder inflammation)
Re-evaluate after the weekend.
Ariel Jurado (shoulder soreness)
Live bullpen session scheduled for Sunday.
Brock Burke (left shoulder impingement)
Still in rehab program, which is still in the long toss stage. At this point, he's unlikely to start the season. No target date set yet.
It's Still Raining
It's not looking great for today. The tarp is on the field. Lots of rain in the forecast.
No Game Today, Folks
9:34 AM: Luke Farrell, who was slated to start today's game, will still throw a bullpen session today.

Other Quotes from Woodward
On Kolby Allard:
"Allard was good. On the first two hitters, he was super-sharp. He was working on some things with Salvador Perez and lost him. He made some quality pitches, he just didn't get a few of those borderline pitches and ended up walking him...Overall I thought he looked really good. I thought he was sharp, he was working fast, which is typical with what he normally does."
On Soler's home run vs Allard:
"He threw a cut-change to [Jorge] Soler, but the 1-1 pitch that he threw to Soler, we had as a strike. Obviously the umpire can go either way, but it was a quality pitch that could have gone 1-2. Instead it was 2-1 and he hung a changeup."
On Taylor Hearn:
"For a power arm, the sharpness of the slider was there. It was firm. Two pitches [including the fastball] that are coming from the left side, for a big guy, it really opened up a lot of eyes yesterday. We were really excited to see that."
