soreness

According to Roberts, Stewart had been dealing with shoulder soreness over the last four days, coinciding with his most recent outing last Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The fact one player has already complained of slight muscular soreness in recent days will have accentuated Glasner's concerns.

Stafford, 37, has not practiced since the Rams opened training camp while receiving treatment from trainers and the team medical staff for what McVay initially described as back soreness.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford will be sidelined through at least the first week of training camp because of back soreness.

But Casparius acknowledged Wednesday that the bullpen’s recent struggles led him to try to pitch through the soreness, likely making the injury worse.
