Here’s a running list of injury updates around the Major Leagues:

Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com tweets that Blue Jays starter Ricky Romero was scratched from tomorrow’s game with a left oblique strain.

– Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman began his rehab program today after undergoing surgery to repair a torn rectus abdominis muscle reports Ben Goessling of MASN. He walked a mile after surgery, and said he was still sore, but felt like everything was on track.

– According to Evan P. Grant of the Dallas Morning News, Rangers officials announced that Brandon Webb will no longer pitch in extended Spring Training games. His velocity has been well below the Major league level, and the team would like to see if they can improve his velocity by improving his mechanics.

– Yankees starter Phil Hughes will be shut down for at least 6-8 weeks longer reports Wallace Matthews of ESPNNewYork.com. He was given a cortisone shot on April 28 and apparently he’s feeling significantly better says Brian Cashman. He’s scheduled to start a throwing program in two weeks.

Orlando Hudson is headed to the Disabled List with a strained right hamstring according to Corey Brock of MLB.com.
