Collateral Damage Daily for April 6

Welcome to the new incarnation of Collateral Damage. Ben has described the different sections better than I could, and this section will go over the additions and subtractions to the list each day. There haven't been many serious injuries since Wednesday, but we do have a few additions to our list. Most notably, Andres Torres strained his calf Opening Day and will be placed on the disabled list this weekend. He has a history of leg strains, including a strained Achilles on the same leg that cost him a month last year. The Mets don't expect Torres to be out that long this time. Chris Leroux found out that his moderate pectoral strain was worse than expected. He won't throw for four to six weeks, meaning he will be out two to three months before being activated. Also added to the list: Tim Stauffer and his triceps strain. It was hoped he would be able to avoid the DL altogether, but the Padres want to be cautious. He is eligible to come off on April 16th, and it sounds like he will be able to. No one has been removed from the disabled list yet, but by next week we'll start getting good news on some of the players listed below.
