FORT MYERS, Fla. – Gunnar Henderson took batting practice again this morning in Sarasota and remains on track to make his 2024 spring debut in the near future.
Henderson was held back in workouts and games due to soreness in his left oblique. He made it through yesterday’s batting practice without incident.
“He did a lot of defense yesterday, also, and everything’s going great,” said manager Brandon Hyde. “It’s just a matter of getting him a little bit more on-the-field stuff, and you should see him pretty soon.”
Second baseman Connor Norby said the soreness in his left side is gone and he’s increasing baseball activities.
“Feels good,” he said. “Hitting is picking up more and more every day. My workload’s picking up more and more every day.”
