Lindsay

Lindsay, who emerged as one of the Rockies’ top pitching prospects last year, is returning from a partially torn labrum he was diagnosed with in December. He opted for rehab instead of surgery to treat the injury. Depending on how he feels over the rest of the season, surgery might yet be a possibility.

The 26-year-old right-hander was outrighted off the White Sox’ 40-man roster last week. Lindsay’s had control problems, but should be able to land a minor league deal.

Lindsay elected free agency after being outrighted off the White Sox 40-man roster in October. The 26-year-old right-hander made his major league debut this September, but spent the majority of the year at the Triple-A level, posting a a 1.98 ERA and 78/51 K/BB ratio over 63 2/3 innings. He’ll need to show better command to win a roster spot during spring training.

Lindsay elected free agency last month after being outrighted off Chicago’s 40-man roster. The 26-year-old Aussie made four appearances in the majors this season as a September call-up, but spent the majority of the year at the Triple-A level, posting a 1.98 ERA and 78/51 K/BB ratio over 63 2/3 innings. He should be able to land a minor league deal.

Lindsay is a hard-thrower but earned his walking papers after issuing 12 free passes in nine innings for Triple-A Albuquerque. The 27-year-old will look to catch on elsewhere.

Lindsay was cut by the Dodgers last week after issuing 12 walks in nine rough innings at Triple-A Albuquerque. He’ll serve as organizational relief depth for the Cubs.

Lindsay struggled in four games with the major league club but held a 1.98 ERA and 11.0 K/9 rate at Charlotte, though that also came along with a 7.2 BB/9 rate. Control issues have long been a problem for the 26-year-old, but he has a good enough arm that he’ll catch on somewhere if the Sox don’t keep him around.

We’re surprised Lindsey made it so far on waivers, given his stuff. Still, he’s a 25-year-old with a long injury history and he was off to a disappointing beginning in 2010. The former starter had a 6.59 ERA and a 19/17 K/BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings for Triple-A Colorado Springs. The Yankees figure to keep him in the pen in Triple-A.

The Yanks claimed Lindsay off waivers from the Rockies a little over 10 days ago, but he didn’t last long. The 25-year-old Australian has a 6.59 ERA and a 19/17 K/BB ratio in 13-plus innings at Triple-A this year.

Lindsay, who missed the entire season after labrum surgery, has given up 10 earned runs and walked 10 in nine innings in Hawaii. The Rockies’ only priority is that he gets through the rest of the season healthy. He was one of their top young pitching prospects before first hurting his shoulder a couple of years ago.
