Injury Report
Shoulder - 60-day DL. Out for the season (Updated - 7/12/08)
Fantasy Analysis
The 32-year-old was first diagnosed with the injury in March but held off on surgery in hopes that the problem would go away with rest and rehab. The typical timetable for recovery is nine to 12 months. That puts him in doubt for next season until possibly after the All-Star break. (Updated 07/22/2008).
