Jason Johnson undergoing retinal cancer treatments

By Benjamin Kabak

Peter Abraham drops in an alarming note about Jason Johnson in his Spring Training wrap-up today: The righthander, in camp on a Minor League deal, is getting treatment for a cancerous growth in his right eye. By all accounts, this procedure has a very high success rate, but Johnson must work indoors for at least the next two weeks.

A reality check for everyone. Best wishes on the procedure.
