Cain's Elbow

The San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain was scratched from his start today because of inflammation in his throwing elbow, but says he already is experiencing improvement.

Cain says "it definitely feels better." It was just a little irritation in his arm. He says it probably has nothing to do with last year or anything he changed this year.

Bruce Bochy, manager on the San Francisco Giants said "I hope he doesn't miss more than one start."

Chase Utley Knee Injury

Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies has had to sit out of two strait games - Saturday against the Yankees and Sunday against the Yankees. Utley has Patella Tendinitis in his right knee.

On Saturday Utley had an MRI on his right knee during the game.

It was bothering Utley so he got the MRI and it was also bothering General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. Utley still took normal batting practice. His knee becomes painfully explosive in things like fielding and running.
