More from Will Carroll:
- While we wait for results of Derek Lowe's MRI, the Dodgers have two other pitchers with hurts to worry about. Brad Penny left last night's game with what's being described as an abdominal strain after chugging down the line on an infield single. While Dodgers fans had to wonder why they're so cursed as to have four of their starting five injured, the fact is that this was nothing more than a simple cramp. Penny was removed as a precaution, got the win, and should make his next start. There's a slight risk that this was a mild strain rather than just a cramp and that he could exacerbate the injury next time out, but again, it's only a slight risk that won't last much beyond his next start. From among the actually disabled pitchers, Randy Wolf had a rehab start, but he wasn't happy with the results. Neither were the Dodgers, who think he'll need at least two more rehab starts before they can think about bringing him back. That the Dodgers have held their division lead despite these injuries is pretty amazing.
- Bobby Crosby "has multiple fractures across his third and fourth metacarpals, the bones of the hand below the middle and ring finger. In essence, that pitch caved in two bones. That will take longer to heal, and given Crosby's history of slow healing, his season's in some jeopardy."
- Akinori Otsuka does not need Tommy John surgery, but as a precaution, they're sending him out to see Dr. Lewis Yocum.
