Injury Updates June 11, 2008
Posted by Pablo Zevallos in J. Brent Cox, Phil Hughes.trackback
Yesterday, on his blog, Phil Hughes declared that he is pain-free and has been for about a week. He still has to wait until x-ray results come back negative so he is cleared to pitch. He’s also received his new glasses to help on the mound. Either way, this is great news, and hopefully he can be back by August and be dominant.
On the other side of things, according to the indispensable Chad Jennings, J.B. Cox has been placed on the 7-day DL. I believe that there is also a 15-day DL in the minors, so the fact that this is just 7 days is a good sign. Jennings isn’t with the team so he couldn’t ask about the injury. My guess is that this is just elbow soreness after coming back, and that he should return soon. No word on any replacements for the Scranton roster.
I hope phil isn’t going to be an injury prone bust.
