John Leadbetter was injured while pitching.
Diagnosis: Herniated Disc Back.
He will be OK in about 6 weeks.
With Shields coming back just in time to slide into his place. Both Prior and Myers will remain in the rotation... Myers has held his own very nicely, but Prior hasn't been able to do anything near what he did last year. Question is whether or not it's worth the risk of yanking a guy like Reyes or Ramirez from a bullpen role they're thriving in to put them in Prior's rotation spot or not. Probably not, atleast for another sim or two or the time it takes leadbetter to come back..
