It's only the second day of Spring Training and the Blue Jays are already reporting a couple of injuries.

Pitchers Adam Kloffenstein and Erik Swanson are both showing symptoms of fatigue.
In terms of Swanson, who is set to open the season as the Blue Jays primary set up man alongside Chad Green, he is suffering from forearm fatigue and is said to be a "little behind", but is optimistic he will be ready for opening day.
Nevertheless, it will be a few days before he starts throwing again.
For Kloffenstein, the right-hander who is set to begin the year in Triple-A and represents starting depth alongside Jake Bloss and Eric Lauer, the fatigue is in his shoulder.
Kloffenstein underwent an MRI which showed no structural damage. Like Swanson, he'll back off throwing for a few days.
These types of injuries can be concerning, because something more serious can lie underneath, but it's early enough that the Blue Jays aren't hitting the panic button yet.
If Swanson in particular needs to miss anytime, his high-leverage role could be split between guys like Brendon Little and Nick Sandlin, and perhaps even Yariel Rodriguez.
It will would also open up an opportunity for one of the on-the-cusp relievers a chance to make the team.
The Blue Jays have starting depth beyond Kloffenstein, but he is only one of three with major league experience, after making his debut last year.
Injuries are always a part of Spring Training. Hopefully, Kloffenstein and Swanson will be fully healed by the start of the season.
