Johan Santana Out Indefinitely: Sore Elbow
Johan Santana has been deemed “Out Indefinitely” due to a sore elbow. He was supposed to start yesterday but was scratched and move to this Tuesday. He has also been scratched from that start and taking it easy now. Jerry Manuel says that this is nothing new with Johan and he should be OK. I am going to assume that because of his knee surgery, his offseason routine was interrupted so he is not on a normal schedule. This would throw off his arm and possibly cause soreness. That is my optimistic view. Johan was 16-6 last year with around a 2 and a half ERA. He was 3rd in the CY Young vote and cold have won it had his bullpen not blown 7 leads for him that were not even close!
