Angels' Escobar Probably Out For Season
2nd July, 2008 - 11:17 am
The Los Angeles Times - Kelvim Escobar will probably miss the rest of the season for the Angels, according to The Los Angeles Times.

"I woke up [Tuesday] and it was like, wow, it's painful," said Escobar after throwing three innings for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on Monday. "It's not the normal soreness you feel after you pitch. It's pain. It's hurt. And it's in the same spot."

Five months after beginning a grueling rehab program, it appears as though he's back to square one.

"This feels like it did in February, when it was really bad," Escobar said. "I'm worried. This is driving me crazy, the up and down, up and down. I've worked so hard, and everything was going so well until [Monday] night's game."

He could seek a second opinion from an orthopedist, and if he decides to undergo surgery, he would be sidelined until the All-Star break in 2009. [READ]
