Was shrugging his shoulders all through the second inning like something was bothering him, and was pulled before the third...

tommy john part 2 or out for month. one after another. all week all year.

From the way he was acting, it looked like something between the shoulder blades.

Muscle in the back. Not an arm injury.

We shall see, sure didnt look like his back....

Mark Prior 2.0!

Apparently it's the week of 2 inning starts: Stasburg, Morrow, Medlen....

they're saying it's an oblique now

gone for 4 weeks minimum

Yep he's on my 14th place team. What a shame, tremendous talent, but can't stay healthy.

Perfect Analogy!!!! His mechanics are going to be problematic his whole career. Reports went from Shoulder, to Back to Oblique. From what I saw, something in his shoulder. There was one pitch in particular, on his follow through, you could seem him grimace and to me it was his shoulder. That particular pitch he flew across his body more than usual and that is a sure sign of a shoulder issue. We chall see... one can understand the Nats playing it down for a few days, since they dont have many options to replace him.

I have all 3 on the same team... what a week/season

Now, they are saying the MRI shows a strain in his side and he may not need to go on the DL. I would say ribcage will be the next assessment..
