Peavy's Painful Pitching Elbow

FF, like all Frair fans out there, are holding our collective breaths in hope that Jake Peavy's MRI on Monday will not find any damage to Peavy's elbow. The injury has apparently caused the 2007 Cy Young award winner to skip bullpen sessions over his last 3 or 4 starts. Obviously, the last thing the struggling club needs is an injury to their franchise player. That said, FF urges caution with Peavy, preferring that the club doesn't let him rush back to potentially injure himself further.

Wil Ledezma will start in Peavy's place on Monday, marking the first need for an injury-related substitution in the rotation this season.
