fresh off his highest strikeout total in a game and this happens?!? No good at all. I'm going to assume the worst and figure we can now write off Kelly contributing with the Padres until the 2014 season. Which sucks. I'll look to the Nats (Strasburg/Zimmerman) for inspiration on this outcome. I guess atleast he's not on the 25-man with this happening, sucking away his cheap service time.

Feel much better after the MRI, but still, inflammation is a sign of some injury. So we get that good news, and then we hit into a billion DPs against Methuselah.
definitely something to watch going forward, but this doesn't sound terribly different then what Latos dealt with a couple of years ago, I'm guessing that was when he was pitching only 56 innings in... more
