Mar. 2 11:03 PM PT12:03 AM MT1:03 AM CT2:03 AM ET7:03 AM GMT3:03 PM 北京时间-Nathan will skip the World Baseball Classic because of soreness in his pitching shoulder the past five days. Analysis: "I think we backed off it early enough to where it won't be an issue," said Nathan, who aggravated the AC joint, which connects the collarbone and clavicle at the top of the shoulder. Nathan called the decision not to play for Team USA a difficult one. It leaves B.J. Ryan of the Blue Jays or J.J. Putz of the Mets as the likely closer candidates. The 34-year-old Nathan was 1-2 with a 1.33 ERA and 39 saves last season. He has averaged 39.8 saves over the past five years.
