Jose Lobaton (shoulder) has been throwing at 120 feet and doesn't expect to be held back at all at the start of spring training.
Lobaton was removed from his Venezuelan Winter League club due to weakness in his right shoulder, but it was just a precautionary move and it appears that he'll be fine. The 27-year-old hit just .118/.231/.147 in his brief time with the Rays this past season but boasted an impressive .307/.417/.505 line at Triple-A. He's expected to share the catching job with Jose Molina this season.
