According to the Associated Press, "Roger Clemens was scratched from Monday's start against the Chicago White Sox because of a fatigued right groin... Clemens first experienced the pain during his last minor league outing, for Triple-A Scranton on Monday. Rather than risk additional injury, he decided to be cautious, the Yankees confirmed during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox... The injury is not believed to be serious. It is not clear when Clemens will pitch, but he will miss the four-game series at Chicago." Wow, so now he's not going to start until Friday against the Pirates, at the earliest. Definitely not a good sign.

I can't say that this is surprising since Clemens is 40+ and has had these types of injuries before. But this is a big blow to the Yanks...


Btw, Kei Igawa will be called up to make the start on Monday.

Nope, and another waste of money by Steinbrenner.

I think this verifies some of my previous posts about 40 + year old pitchers. Good job George !!!

I agree with you, LSC.

George shops well.

Lemme see. $28 million spent and ... ummmm $zero return. Nice. It allows us to maintain that 13 1/2 game lead.

Clemens' MRI exam reveals disrupted scar tissue

Roger Clemens still hopes to make his 2007 Yankees debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday after an MRI exam showed he had a scar tissue injury in his right groin. Clemens had originally planned to start Monday night at the Chicago White Sox. He scratched himself from the outing on Saturday because of what the Yankees said then was a fatigued groin, an injury that he first felt during a minor league outing May 28.
He had an MRI exam Monday in Tampa, and Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo and the scan showed Clemens had disrupted scar tissue.
Clemens played catch Monday in the outfield during a 2-hour, 50-minute workout at the Yankees minor league complex. Most of the workout and treatment took place indoors.
He didn't stop to talk with reporters when he departed.
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner plans to throw a bullpen session in Tampa on Wednesday, Zillo said.

I just don't get it. Why doesn't he just pack his glove and go home ? It doesn't make much sense to me.

It's really not that serious of an injury. This is just a recurrance of an old problem.

He'll be ready to pitch by Saturday.
