The Oakland Athletics bullpen seems to be suffering from minor injuries:
Bailey said he felt elbow discomfort his last two outings and wanted to have it checked after pitching Sunday. Craig Breslow felt elbow soreness after his Monday outing, and an MRI exam showed medial tendinitis. He’s out three or four days.
On top of that, Michael Wuertz (shoulder) was scratched from pitching in a minor-league intrasquad game (he still hasn’t appeared in the Cactus League), and Joey Devine (returning from Tommy John surgery) was to play catch for the first time in a week, but it was canceled.
Of course, this is the time of the year when it’s easy to shut down a pitcher so a minor injury doesn’t turn into a major one.
In my day job, I’m the editor of the newspaper website you just lifted four paragraphs from for this item… we allow two. I’m not going to forward it to the lawyers, but you see why I’m so angry at your characterizations of us as “dying newspapers”?
@baycommuter: Sorry, I’ll hold it two paragraphs in the future. If you want, I’ll remove two.
sure, that’s cool, thanks David.
