Notes: Kuwata suffers right ankle sprain
BRADENTON, Fla. --
Masumi Kuwata was taken off the field on a golf cart during the eighth
inning on Monday, representing the latest Pirates injury, but also a sad
turn for the Japanese righty whose dream is to one day play in the Major
Leagues.
Kuwata, 38, had survived many rounds of Spring Training cuts and earned
praise from manager Jim Tracy, who seemed, if anything, pleasantly surprised
by the Japanese pitcher who'd spent the previous 21 seasons with the Yomiuri
[Tokyo] Giants. He seemed poised to make the roster at Triple-A Indianapolis,
until a nasty spill in the eighth inning of a 2-2 tie with Toronto put things
on hold for a bit.
Kuwata was attempting to back up third base after Toronto's John McDonald
knocked a bloop single with a man on first. The right-hander became entangled
with home plate umpire Wally Bell, who was heading to third as well, and fell
face-down near the coaches' box, where he remained unmoving until surrounded
by teammates and head team trainer Brad Henderson.
"He stepped on my left ankle, and I believe at that point he twisted his
[right] ankle," said Bell. "I saw him before he saw me. I tried to put my hand
out, but we collided."
Kuwata was taken to Manatee Memorial Hospital for X-rays, and returned to the
clubhouse not long after the game, wearing a plastic splint. He was ushered
immediately into the training room and had the door shut behind him.
Kuwata was diagnosed as having a grade 3 sprain of his right ankle, which was
reported to be severely swollen. So much so, in fact, that doctors are not
ruling out a break. Grade three is the most serious sprain, on a scale of 1-3
. Kuwata will be re-evaluated on Tuesday morning by team physician Patrick
DeMeo.

Monday was just Kuwata's second outing since returning from a left ankle sprain
he suffered on March 9. He sat out nine days that time around, and seemed to be
eager to get back into action immediately. It's unknown how long he'll be
sidelined this time around.
"He's done a great job, and it really is a shame because, had we not dealt with
the left ankle earlier, our intention was to continue to pitch the guy," Tracy
said. "Get him out there, and find out exactly what it is that we have from the
standpoint of physical capability."
