(There's also some Ryan Rowland-Smith info in this article, but you don't care about that, do you? I thought so.)

Reliever Shawn Kelley will have his right elbow examined later today after soreness never subsided following his one inning of rehab work Monday for the Class AAA Tacoma Rainiers.


Manager Don Wakamatsu said he's concerned about Kelley because the elbow pain flared up after only one inning in his first rehab outing since going on the DL June 16. In the back of everyone's mind is the fact that Kelley had Tommy John surgery on that elbow in 2003 when he pitched for Austin Peay University.

"We've got to be real cautious," Wakamatsu said.

Kelley was supposed to pitch the first two innings tonight for the Everett AquaSox but was scratched from that after the pain never went away following his outing in Tacoma.

"It was a little more than I thought it was," he said. "It was not getting better."

Wak on Kelley-he most likely is facing surgery could be a year could be ready in the spring-we don't know what we will find

Lets give Josh Lueke a chance in the majors with this opportunity. Bummer to see Kelley go down again but we can take advantage of this.

This just refines how bad of a season this has been...
