- Joel Zumaya wanted to show the Minnesota Twins he was OK this spring, hoping to bring the kind of heat that made him so promising before a long list of injuries derailed his career. His latest comeback attempt took a worrisome turn Saturday not long after it started. A few minutes after he started throwing to hitters for the first time this spring, Zumaya walked off the mound in a mixture of pain and frustration. He declined to speak to reporters, but Twins general manager Terry Ryan said the reliever injured the inside of his elbow. He was scheduled to get an MRI exam on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury.
