Padres' Austin Hedges: Limited due to hamstring

Hedges was held back from normal work Friday with a hamstring injury, but it's not considered serious, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The Friars' starting backstop will be handled with care heading into the regular season, and this looks like a temporary setback. After adding ample offense to his defensive prowess last season in the minors (326/.353/.597 with 21 homers and 82 RBI with Triple-A El Paso), the 24-year-old Hedges has the makings of a mixed league sleeper, though he'll likely endure some bumps in his second year of extensive MLB work.
