J-ROD Injures Shoulder...so now what?

by SethWestern on Mar 31, 2006 2:20 PM EST

John Rodriguez injured his left (throwing) shoulder in the early innings of today's game vs the Mets on ESPN. TLR did a dugout interview the next inning and was clearly worried about it. When asked about the injury, "concerned" was the wording. He seemed distracted with it throughout the interview. So my guess is that Skip Schumaker is tag-teaming with The Gooch in left. Might we also be carrying an extra pitcher into the season? Hancock and Benes? Falkenborg possibly? Who knows... PS> Some good news... In the inning following J-ROD's injury, down 0-2, Mr. Pujols came up with a runner on 2nd and JACKED one out to left-center to tie it up. Go Cardinals.

If you include batting practice...

and maybe a guest appearance for a little league team... no.

Only a Flesh Wound

Derrick Goold posted at Bird Land that Rodriguez is not headed for the DL and will start the season on the roster and his shoulder evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
