Ryan Kalish To Test Shoulder Wednesday

On Wednesday, Ryan Kalish will throw for the first time since his shoulder surgery. The 23-year old right fielder had multiple surgeries in the off-season—with the shoulder procedure being done last November. Kalish (pictured here with a young fan) missed the whole 2011 season, after hitting .252 in 53 games with the big club in 2010. Despite the acquisitions of Cody Ross and Ryan Sweeney, Kalish is likely to see a lot of playing time once he is fully healthy. Until then, Ross, Sweeney and Darnell McDonald are slated to share playing time—which could expand even further if Carl Crawford is not ready to start the season.
