05/24: Pitcher Update: Bruney in Pain, Joba Starting Tuesday and Wang Staying in the Pen
Posted by: Patrick
MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli has an update on Brian Bruney, Joba Chamberlain and Chien-Ming Wang.
Bruney is in rough shape. He played catch today and his right elbow was still hurting him. Both an MRI and an arthogram showed no structural damage. He says that the more he throws, the less it hurts.
Girardi indicated that Bruney could be headed to the DL, but was waiting to see the pitcher throw and for Dave Eiland to weigh in. Bruney expects to pitch on Monday, pain or no pain.
Chamberlain threw a good bullpen session on Sunday and appears good to go on Tuesday.
Finally, Wang will stay in the pen for now and will be waiting in the wings should anything change with Joba.
