M.A.S.H. Report

Here is a look at the past week comings and goings of players on the DL

Coming back from the DL
Scott Kazmir – 4 IP, 8 hits, 3 BB, 2K, 6 runs vs Yankees
Jeff Suppan – 5 IP, 6 hits, 1 BB, 4K, 4 runs vs Cubs
Reggie Willits – 4 PA, 2BB
Brett Carroll – 9 PA, 3 hits, 1 2B, 1 3B

Going to the DL
Jo-Jo Reyes – Hyper-extended Right Knee – Talking Chop looks to see if the reason behind the move is because of injury or other motives.
Garrett Mock – Neck Nerve Injury – He was optioned to minors and then told the team about the injury.
Jason LaRue – Strained Right Hamstring – Injury caused when running the bases.
Jimmy Rollins – Strained Right Calf – Injury caused warming up before game
Mike Gonzalez – Strain Right Shoulder – Pain happened while warming in the bullpen during a game.
Brian Fuentes – Strained Muscle in Mid Back – Hurt his back pitching on 4/6
Esmailin Caridad – Strain Right Calf – Person to replace him as main Cubs setup man has not yet determined.
Kelly Shoppach – Sprained Right Knee – Injury probably caused by collision at home plate with Curtis Granderson

So far this season 100 players have made the trip to the DL with only 7 coming off so far.

Here are a few players that have some nagging injuries that could be heading to the DL

Ross Ohlendorf – Back Spasms – He had a start skipped on Monday and will not pitch this Saturday. There is a good chance he will go on the DL

Not to pick nits, but Mike Gonzalez has a strained left (throwing shoulder) and a little bit of editing on these (strained right “rotor” cuff? for Pie) would be much appreciated.
