Baker Suffers Setback

John Baker, who was expected to make a rehab appearance for single-A Jupiter tonight, suffered a setback as the Miami Herald reports:

JOHN BAKER SETBACK: Gonzalez said catcher John Baker suffered a setback on Monday with his injured right arm and was scheduled to see the team doctor, Dr. Lee Kaplan, in South Florida. Baker was scratched from a scheduled rehab game with Single A Jupiter after complaining of soreness in the right elbow area when he tried to throw. Baker went on the DL on May 15.


Not good news on a day that has the team feeling guardedly optimistic about its offense going forward. Any time a player sees a doctor, surgery usually results, so it looks like the Marlins may need to find a catcher as neither Brett Hayes nor Ronny Paulino are every day players.
