Pinstripes Run on Duncan

After a health scare, Shelley Duncan is ready to start preparing, albeit mentally, for Spring Training. After having an odd feeling in his arm for a few days Duncan had it checked out. It turned out he had blood clots in his right shoulder and he wound up with a 5-day hospital stay.

"Any time you don't know what's going on, you get worried abut things," Duncan told the Daily News yesterday, speaking publicly for the first time since the diagnosis. "When you think about worst-case scenarios, you absolutely get scared."

Thankfully, doctors ruled out cancer, and attributed the clots to circulation problems, that may have been caused by muscle build up or even sleeping in a poor position. For now, Duncan is on meds and cannot participate in any strenuous activities. Which may mean he won't be ready for opening day. Source
