The elbow that Mark Prior injured on Friday turns out to be much better than initially thought. "Initially I thought, hey, it could be shattered, I could be done," Prior said of the scary seconds after a hard-hit batted ball struck his right elbow Friday. So "relief" is an odd way to describe how Prior and the Cubs felt Saturday, but that's actually the best word. "It could have been a lot worse," Prior said. "It could have been my career." Instead, the Cubs believe it could be only four to six weeks before Prior can get back on the Wrigley Field mound after an MRI showed his elbow had a "non-displaced fracture of the lateral epicondyl."
