Jenks has "stress reaction"
The Angels #2 pitching prospect, Bobby Jenks, was diagnosed with a "stress reaction" in his right elbow. He suffered the same injury last season, causing him to sit out most of the year. GM Bill Stoneman says that the only treatment is to "...just cool it for a while." It appears likely that Jenks is done for the season.
This is truly unfortunate. With the scarcity of arms in the Angels system every set back is a major one, and already the Angels top pitching prospect, Ervin Santana, has been shut down for the foreseeable future with arm troubles.
It's hard to say you're "rooting" for someone like Jenks (what with all his personal problems) but he seems to have mellowed out somewhat, and could have made a real splash this season. Maybe next year...
