M L INJURIES
Jeffrey Moreno
The Howlers are .......well........Howling mad with the 3rd injury in 2 days. This time it was a starting pitcher. He should be back soon after his sore shoulder mends.

Pat Stargell
The Black Sox lost their GG left fielder for two months. Maybe he couldn't take the strain of playing 2nd base??
