Christian Friedrich dealing with back injury
Christian Friedrich - S - Colorado Rockies
Feb. 15, 2013 - 9:35 AM ET

Christian Friedrich is currently limited to long-toss due to a back injury.

Friedrich won't resume throwing from the mound until sometime next week. It's notable because the left-hander's 2012 season ended prematurely due to a stress fracture of the L5 vertebrae in his lower back. At this point, though, the Rockies don't seem to be terribly concerned.
