The
San Diego Padres have been hit with some devastating news. Star pitcher
Jake Peavy has experienced elbow soreness in 3 of his past 4 starts, and has been scratched from his Monday start. The latest of elbow pains came Wednesday, when Peavy had his shortest outing of the season, pitching only 4 innings, giving up 4 runs on 7 hits, and having no command of his fastball. The start before that, it was all fastball and no breaking ball. "Obviously I haven't been sharp," Peavy said. "And the discomfort hasn't been improving." Jake will now undergo an MRI Monday.
