Judging by the latest injury updates, Major League Baseball is a perilous odyssey, something like "Lord of the Rings" meets "Raiders of the Lost Ark" meets, well, Homer's Odyssey. Between the beginning of spring training — which is largely a spa for big-league ballplayers — and the end of their first real game, the Twins lost three key relievers, a prospective starting pitcher, one of their top prospects, perhaps their right fielder and their rising star of a third baseman to injuries. Those who left Fort Myers injured include standout closer Jhoan Duran, top lefthanded reliever Caleb Thielbar, key middle reliever Justin Topa, rising prospect Brooks Lee and possible fifth starter Anthony DeSclafani.
