09/05: Clemens to Miss a Start
Posted by: Patrick
From Peter Abraham:
I suppose, if there is any good in this, it's good that it's against a .449 team like the Royals as opposed to a better team. As luck would have it, Moose is 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA in 2 starts against the Royals this year. They are 1 of 2 teams he has 2 wins against and 1 of 5 teams that he has an ERA of 3.00 or lower against (with 3 of those, he only pitched once).
The Yankees offered suspiciously few details yesterday about the condition of Roger Clemens' right elbow - other than to say they believe he will return to the mound before the season ends. ...
Clemens will miss his start on Sunday at Kansas City, with Mike Mussina replacing him. Clemens could return for the Red Sox series at Fenway Park, Sept. 14-16.
"We're thinking one start. We'll see," manager Joe Torre said. "He'll have to go out and throw on the mound before he can pitch. ... His elbow seems stable. There doesn't seem to be any damage that concerns anybody."
