Happ will miss next start; Eyre has elbow soreness

POSTED: Tuesday, September 8, 2009, 6:21 PM

David Murphy, Daily News Staff Writer

Assistant GM Scott Proefrock just briefed the media on injuries:

1) J.A. Happ will definitely miss a second start thanks to a mild muscle strain in his rib cage. Jamie Moyer will presumably take his place, while Kyle Kendrick could be called on to start in Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.

2) J.C. Romero had a cortisone shot in an attempt at flushing the inflammation out of his left forearm. He will be shut down for a couple of days.

3) Clay Condrey received a favorable report from team doctor Michael Ciccotti. He could throw in a rehab game or simulated game in the near future.

4) Greg Dobbs is running at 85 percent, but as of yet has no plans to appear in any simulated or rehab games.

Inhale. Exhale. Repeat. 6 game lead. Let's not turn into the whiners of Red Sox Nation.

Another crash and burn tonight for Lidge. Figure out an injury and rehab him until pitchers and catchers report in Feb. Try Ty Walker as closer.

Lots of bitterness for a team that's six games up in the division with 27 games to play in the season.
