Guardians Injuries: Austin Peterson, Chase DeLauter, Peyton Pallette

We've finally reached the time in spring training where injuries start to pop up, and the Cleveland Guardians are no exception.

While the Guardians haven't suffered an injury that's changed the tenor of their camp (starts knocking on every piece of wood in sight), they've still been nibbled on by the injury bug. Here's what to know.

Guardians Injuries: Austin Peterson, Chase DeLauter, Peyton Pallette

RHP Austin Peterson

Peterson's had the worst injury luck so far this spring, as he suffered a moderate grade right triceps strain earlier this week that's expected to keep him out for six to eight weeks.

The injury is a huge blow for Peterson, who is in his first spring since the Guardians added him to their 40-man roster in the offseason.

Although Peterson isn't as big of a name as some of the Guardians' other pitching prospects, he's coming off a season where he threw 145 innings across Double-A and Triple-A, so he's clearly a solid innings-eater. But now he won't get a chance to show that until the middle of summer (at the earliest).

OF Chase DeLauter

Some good news, at least. After being pulled from the Guardians' lineup earlier this week due to lower body soreness, DeLauter got back to running on Saturday and could be back in the Guardians' lineup sometime in the next week.

Injuries have been a huge part of DeLauter's career so far (and are the biggest reason why he didn't make his MLB debut last year until the postseason), but it looks like he dodged a bullet with his latest injury.

The Guardians were smart to give him some time off, and today's update provides even more reinforcement that it was the right decision.

RHP Peyton Pallette

The Guardians acquired Pallette from the White Sox in the Rule 5 Draft over the winter, but he has yet to make his spring debut for the Guardians thanks to right shoulder fatigue.

That shouldn't be the case for much longer, however, as he threw live batting practice yesterday and could pitch in game action next week.

Pallette's in a weird spot since the Guardians will need to keep him on their big league roster all season or return him to the White Sox, so every appearance this spring means a little more for him than some of the other players on the roster.
