Spring training might represent a fresh start for the fans of each of MLB‘s 30 teams. But 2014 is still on the minds of several players on those rosters.
Injuries, most of which were suffered last season, continue to dominate the headlines surrounding a handful of the biggest names in the game.
Some have progressed in their rehabilitations to the point where they’ve gotten back on the field and into exhibition games. These players will be our focus.
But we can’t ignore those who are still working their ways toward that point, and we’ll take a look at where those players stand as well.
How did those who have seen action in the exhibition season’s opening week fare? Let’s take a look.
*Note, we are only focusing on established MLB stars. Highly touted prospects dealing with injuries, like Minnesota’s Byron Buxton and Miguel Sano, were not eligible for this list.
