Big Z Has Right Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

It doesn't appear that Big Z needs any surgery. A day after reportedly "refusing" an MRI, Big Z underwent the procedure and was found to have right rotator cuff tendinitis. He's expected to miss one start with an extra day or two of rest. At this point his next start is scheduled for the last day of the road trip in Houston, and he should resume throwing in a couple of days.

This is a bad time to lose Z...

…with all the road games against contending teams. Let’s hope someone steps up to fill the void and that no one else goes down…

Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...
When my last remains go flying over the left field wall, I'll bid the bleacher bums adieu,
And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue. --Steve Goodman

I think we're making the playoffs even without Z

Thus, I would like to see him rest until absolutely 100% (at least for the playoffs).
