SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) -Jose Guillen has a sore right shoulder and an ingrown nail on his big right toe, limiting his spring training activities with the Kansas City Royals.
While the toe injury has hampered Guillen for a few days, the balky shoulder was revealed before Saturday’s workout.
“He’s got a sore shoulder,” manager Trey Hillman said. “So we’re going to back him down from swinging and throwing for the next couple of days. With the toe, it’s just a matter of how quickly his body heals. That is still limiting him as far as running.”
Guillen was allowed to stretch and participate in some defensive drills, but then was sent to the trainer’s room for treatment.
“We want to try and get that (shoulder) settled down,” Hillman said. “When it’s one of your players that is planning on playing in the WBC, we want to send him off healthy as possible.”
Guillen, who led the Royals with 20 homers and 97 RBIs last season, has said he would not play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic unless he is 100 percent healthy.
