PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Clayton Richard and Dustin Moseley are healthy again. The trick for the San Diego Padres is keeping them on the mound throughout spring training.
Richard has been cleared by the team's medical staff less than seven months after he had arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The left-hander was 5-9 with a 3.88 ERA in 18 starts last year before his season was cut short by the July 29 operation.
Moseley, who is in contention for the final spot in the rotation, had the capsule in his non-throwing shoulder repaired on Aug. 3.
Padres manager Bud Black says Monday the team will monitor Richard and Moseley during spring training.
