KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) - Atlanta Braves outfielder Garret Anderson was kept out of Friday night's Grapefruit League game against the Houston Astros after pulling his right calf muscle minutes before the first pitch.
Anderson, who was signed as a free agent after spending his entire 15-year career with the Angels, was expected to add a much-needed left-handed bat to the Braves' lineup and reported to camp last week, but his status is day-to-day. Anderson said he hopes to be ready early next week."I don't know how it happened," Anderson said. "Nothing like this has ever happened before. We just have to see how it develops after treatment. It's spring training, so it's better early than later on."
