Escobar to miss two starts?
According to ESPNews, Kelvim Escobar has been quoted as saying that he hopes his arm injury will only cause him to miss two starts. Does that mean he knows he's going to miss at least two starts, or is he just being cautious? It was assumed by many that Escobar would only miss go-around of the rotation, as he is eligible to return from the DL on the 15th - the same day as his second scheduled start.
UPDATE: ESPNews didn't source the quote, so I can provide no context. However, it may have come from this note in yesterday's Times:
Escobar, on the disabled list because of a right elbow strain, has been throwing off flat ground and expects to pitch off a mound within a week. "I'm pain-free and feel good right now," Escobar said. "Hopefully, I'll miss one to two starts at the most."
If that is indeed the quote, ESPNews would seem to be blowing this a little out of proportion.
