DR. HQ: Preseason Report: NL Outfielders

Giancarlo Stanton (OF, MIA)
The Injury: Bruised wrist and knee inflammation
The Outlook: These injuries appear to have surfaced this spring and cannot be traced back to last season. As we move toward the end of spring training, there is a chance Stanton could stay behind for a few days to a week to shake off these minor ailments.

Draft Risk Factor: Low

Carlos Gonzalez (OF, COL)
The Injury: Strained right wrist from last July.
The Outlook: He was cautious at the start of the season but as we entered March he looks to be over any wrist soreness.
What to Watch this Spring: If reports...
