Papelbon, who missed a scheduled outing Thursday due to an illness, gave up four runs (three earned) on two hits and three walks in two-thirds of an inning Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Given that he may not have been 100 percent healthy, there's not much to be concerned with here, but if Papelbon continues to have trouble finding the strike zone during the spring, it could be a sign of a more serious underlying issue. For now, though, there's no reason to downgrade him on your cheat sheets based on one bad mid-March performance.
