Pat Gillick said before tonight's game in San Francisco that Tom Gordon is expected to be placed on the 15-day disabled list tomorrow with right rotator cuff inflammation. Gordon had an injection in his shoulder today in Philadelphia. Gordon will be reevaluated Monday or Tuesday by team physician Michael Ciccotti.
But Gordon won't throw for at least eight days.
He won't be back anytime soon.
Gillick said Gordon's name didn't appear on the team's injury list until April 23, when he first complained of shoulder soreness. He told manager Charlie Manuel before yesterday's loss to Atlanta that he couldn't pitch. But pitching coach Rich Dubee never really was 100 percent at any point, which certainly would explain his early season struggles.
But, hey, why not just read the story?
