Astros reliever Josh Fields told reporters that his groin strain has calmed down after he's been evaluated every day, per the Houston Chronicle.
"I don't think it'll be too long before I'm off the mound again," Fields said.
Fields has been sidelined since Monday -- his only appearance of the spring -- with a groin issue. He indicated that he remains uncertain if he'll be ready by Opening Day.
"I don't know. I don't think we've gotten there yet. I'm hoping, hopeful," Fields said.
