July 18, 200520 yr Haggerty was sent down before Gonzalez got hurt. Not sure when Young got hurt but it does appear to be a pulled muscle in his side. If that is the case, it may be a long recovery. Would not be easy to hit, and especially with any power like that. Garcia was okay to play today, but Razor kept him on the bench as insurance and flexibility. I think they should let Phillips DH for the time being. He can swing a bat.

If the strained muscle is in his ribs or abdominals it will take quite awhile to heal. These muscles are so thick and provide all of the trunk rotation during the swing. even if they are just sore it robs players of a lot of power and speed during the swing.
