Chris Withrow to miss a couple of days
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com (3/18/2013) Dodgers prospect Chris Withrow made his Cactus League debut on Sunday after missing time due to a back injury. But the second batter Withrow faced hit a comebacker off his left shin and the right-hander will now miss a couple of days.
"It's been a pretty adventurous spring," Withrow told MLB.com Monday. "I came in ready to go. For my back to go out the second day was kind of frustrating. Then the second batter, after seven months off, that's not ideal either. Things happen for a reason."
Withrow, a first-round pick in 2007, went 3-3 with a 4.65 ERA in 22 appearances (seven starts) at Double-A Chattanooga last season.

Withrow transitions to reliever
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (2/5/2013) MLB.com reports Dodgers pitching prospect Chris Withrow, who was a 2007 first-round pick, has been converted from a starter to a reliever. "Chris wanted the change," pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said. "He likes attacking more. He reminds me a little of (Eric) Gagne, somebody who might throw three or four innings as a starter but have one [bad] inning, and you can eliminate that if you're only asking one inning of relief from him. Maybe one- or two-inning stints will be easier on his back. He's got the arm."
