Has there been any update on Whitenack?

[CubsWin]

I've been Googling it for the last couple days and haven't found anything on Whitenack yet. But I can report that Szczur has hit his first professional HR.

Strained right elbow. Cubs don't feel it's serious enough to bring him to Chicago to see the docs here.

thanks... though i don't like the idea that a guy who doubled over in pain after throwing a pitch is diagnosed as "no big deal." hopefully they at least tossed him in an mri machine.

Szczur is starting to make me feel like he was worth the investment.

I'm having much the same feeling. In fact, it's still a bit early, but I've been pleasantly surprised by a lot of guys this year.

Thanks, Bruce. It's bad news, it being arm related. The way he doubled over I was hoping for some sort of abdominal strain. But I'd rather have an answer than not.

 

Once again, we didn't even have to put up the Bruce Signal. :wink:

 

Thanks.

I know. I hate it when they use divination to diagnose somebody. Stupid Cobs! If only MRIs existed outside of Chicago...

[CubsWin]

Graham Hicks with another nice game. 5 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 Ks. He's really starting to blossom.

[CubsWin]

Brett Wallach's been inconsistent, but he pitched a nice game today. 5 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K.

 

Lake, Crawford and Bour continue hitting. Lake and Crawford are repeating this level and Bour is a year old for it. I'd like to see what they can do in AA in the 2nd half this year.

Thanks. Will he be DLd or miss a start?

Donnie Veal pitched in that game against Daytona and got 5k's in 2ip.

I didn't miss it.

 

My point was, I don't think we have to hope. They're not that dumb. No one is. It's standard procedure in order to make an accurate diagnosis. And who used the words "no big deal"? Bruce didn't and as far as we know no one from the Cubs did either. Just because the injury was deemed not severe enough to have the Cubs team doctors in Chicago get involved doesn't mean the Cubs were negligent in any way. I agree it's surprising with the way he was described as doubling over, but come on, couldn't it just be good news that it wasn't as bad as we initially feared?
