Shawn Hill Out for the Season
Man, is this place slow.
Quote:
Shawn Hill: Out for season; will visit Dr. Andrews tomorrow
Just as part of the standard housekeeping, one media member today asked Manny Acta about the progress of pitcher Shawn Hill, who was due to return (after recovering from a long, mysterious forearm injury) in mid-September.
Acta's response, when asked about Hill.
"He's done."
Done for the season.
Hill, who was in Viera, Fla., working on a rehab/pitching program, felt elbow soreness and swelling -- a setback that ends this arduous comeback attempt and, frankly, puts his future with the team in doubt. GM Jim Bowden said he's "concerned" for Hill's career. Hill hasn't pitched for the Nats this year since June 24 -- he was shut down after that, and ordered onto a program of rest and rehab; no surgery -- but now, the team is terming this a new injury.
Tomorrow, Hill will be examined by Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Fla.
