Injury Roundup week 1 - Anhil8tor - 04-07-2006

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (shin) threw 40 pitches in the bullpen Saturday, April 1, and reported no problems. The shin splints no longer appear to be a problem and he should make his first start of the season Friday, April 7.


Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Ben Sheets (back) is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment Thursday, April 6, most likely with Double-A Huntsville. He'll throw around 50 pitches. So far Sheets has experienced no setbacks. The team placed him on the disabled list last week. Starter Doug Davis saw the Opening Day start in his absence and will continue to keep the spot warm until Sheets returns.

Doctors have diagnosed Los Angeles Dodgers closer Eric Gagne (ear) with an inner and outer ear infection. The doctors prescribed antibiotics and that should have solved the problem. Gagne also dropped the appeal on his suspension dating back to last year, so he'll begin serving the two-gamer immediately. Reliever Danys Baez will take over until Gagne returns.

Dodgers closer Eric Gagne will have surgery Friday to remove a nerve from his pitching elbow - his second arm operation in less than a year - leaving his season in doubt.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds (knee), as expected, started in left field on Opening Day.


Sucks for those that took a chance on Gagne
