Analyse

Whitley reportedly suffered the injury during his appearance Saturday against the Yankees. There's currently no telling if his injury will prevent him from being ready for Opening Day, though a timetable could be established once he's cleared to begin throwing. The 27-year-old righty had been having a solid camp prior to getting hurt, allowing one earned run in five innings while striking out five batters and walking four.
