CIMO. Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Westbrook shut down for six weeks Jake Westbrook's visit with Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles resulted in some good news and bad news. The good news is Westbrook has no structural damage in his surgically repaired right elbow. The bad news is that Westbrook is still experiencing soreness as a result of scar tissue in the elbow and will be shut down for the next six weeks, according to head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff. That pretty much kills any chance of Westbrook pitching for the Tribe this season. As for next year, the Indians are in the process of determining whether or not Westbrook will pitch winter ball to build up his arm strength for Spring Training 2010. http://castrovince.mlblogs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he can return next year, how effective will he be, is in doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
