Craig Kimbrel continues to remain in Boston to be with his daughter Lydia Joy who was scheduled to undergo her second surgery for a heart defect.

Kimbrel left spring training camp to return to Boston at the end of February.

Lydia Joy, who was born in November, underwent her first procedure four days after being born. She's being treated at Boston Children's Hospital.

Manager Alex Cora was asked for an update on Kimbrel's situation today.

"Same deal. Praying for Lydia," Cora told reporters in Jupiter. "Our thoughts and prayers are with him.

"He's actually throwing up there," Cora said. "He threw a bullpen two days ago. He actually took the (radar) gun to it and he feels really good where he's at physically and where his arm is. But obviously for us, for the organization, for everybody, the most important thing is Lydia."

As MassLive.com reported Wednesday, Kimbrel threw to Babson freshman catcher Alex Reynolds at Fenway Park.

Reynolds is a 5-foot-10, 200-pound catcher from Hopkinton, Mass.
