Injury updates

[Plymouth]

A little news for you folks that can't wait to jump on Liriano:



Francisco Liriano, 24, lefthander, out all of 2006 after Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery:



"Francisco's not close to being ready to pitch in a big-league game, but he's been throwing regularly, doing well. Our Dominican scout, Fred Guerrero, is keeping tabs on him and he's giving us good reports. Whether Francisco will be ready for the rotation in April, it's too early to say."
