Uhhh ohhh


Chicago Cubs right-hander Mark Prior, still bothered by soreness in his right shoulder, will miss his next start Tuesday and instead will fly to Chicago to be examined by a doctor.

This is not good news. At the very least he should of been taken for x-rays the day of the collision, no matter what Prior was saying. He could have a hairline fracture of his right shoulder which would end his season. But i pray its nothing more than just a deep bruise.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre will be recalled from Double-A West Tenn to make his major league debut Tuesday at Atlanta in place of Prior, the Cubs said Sunday. Mitre, a 22-year-old right-hander, was 6-7 with a 3.79 ERA in 18 starts at West Tenn.

And Juan Cruz didnt get the call?

UPDATE: Prior is now officially on the 15 day DL. His next start at the earliest could come July 27th.
