From the DugoutInjury Roundup - 07/01/04
Welcome to KFFL.com's Injury Round Up. Each week, we bring you the latest
from around the diamond on key injury issues. Who are the latest players on the
disabled list that could affect their team's production? Which players may be
headed to the DL soon and which players may be returning to the fold in the coming
days or weeks? PRIME-TIME PLAYERSThe Oakland
Athletics placed SP Tim Hudson
(oblique) on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Wednesday, June 23, as he
is suffering from a strained left oblique. The injury is not believed to be serious,
and Hudson has been penciled in to rejoin the rotation against the Cleveland
Indians Saturday, July 10. Chicago
Cubs SP Kerry Wood (triceps)
is scheduled to throw another simulated game Thursday, July 1 at Wrigley Field.
This pushes back any impending minor league rehab assignment to next week and
it appears as though Wood won't return prior to the All-Star Game. Toronto
Blue Jays 1B Carlos Delgado
(ribs), out since May 30, appears set to make his return Friday, July 2, in Puerto
Rico against the Montreal Expos.
Delgado played in a minor league game Wednesday, June 30, at Single-A Dunedin.
He was scheduled to play one more game the following day and could be activated
Friday. Florida Marlins SP
Josh Beckett (back) was placed
on the 15-day disabled list with a strained back muscle. Beckett is optimistic
about his chances of coming off the DL and making at least one start before the
All-Star break. Beckett long-tossed during the Tuesday, June 29, game and reported
no discomfort. However, Marlins
manager Jack McKeon doesn't
want to rush him back just for one start before the All-Star break. The
American League's second leading hitter, Baltimore
Orioles OF Melvin Mora (foot)
returned to the Orioles' starting lineup Wednesday, June 30, after missing 10
of the team's 11 previous 11 games due to a foot injury. Chicago
White Sox OF Magglio Ordonez
(knee) continues to hit the ball well in batting practice but is still unable
to run the bases without experiencing pain in his surgically repaired left knee.
This is reportedly being caused by scar tissue that hasn't broken up yet. AROUND
