When asked when he would play again, Gary Sheffield had the following response: "I don't know. I'm just looking at it as day-to-day. ... What (the doctor) told me is that it might take awhile." The injury doesn't appear season-threatening. Manager Jim Leyland isn't sure how long Sheffield will be out, but said the injury was "not even close" to requiring a trip to the disabled list. Sheffield has been told the shoulder won't need surgery. He has had two prior surgeries on the shoulder, and, when asked what he would do if doctors said he would need major surgery, he replied, "That would be it for me."
