Hunter Dobbins Not Running or Fielding Yet
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins (knee) is not participating in fielding or running drills as spring training gets underway, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It was recently reported that Dobbins didn't have a timetable for his return to the mound, and the fact that he's being held out of key camp drills isn't a very encouraging sign. There's still more than a month until Opening Day, so Dobbins has time to recover and compete for a spot in the rotation. However, he's presumably on the outside looking in as pitchers and catchers ramp up. Dobbins, who was acquired from Boston in exchange for Willson Contreras during the offseason, tore his knee ligament last year. He made 13 appearances (11 starts) prior to his injury, posting a 3.87 FIP, 6.64 K/9, and 2.51 BB/9. Kyle Leahy projects as the Cardinals' No. 5 starter for the duration of Dobbins' absence.
