Rockies uncertain over status of P Cook

Baseball Betting Lines

09/09/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Colorado Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook's status is uncertain after suffering a non-displaced fracture in his lower right leg on Wednesday.

Colorado manager Jim Tracy stated on Thursday that it is not known if Cook will be able to pitch again this season after X-rays revealed the crack in his fibula.

"This is a non-displaced fracture that unless you are an expert, myself or someone else can't just look at the pictures and say, 'Oh, there it is,'" said Tracy. "Is this season-ending or not? I still don't know today."

The injury occurred in the sixth inning of Wednesday's 9-2 win against the Cincinnati Reds when he was hit in the leg by a line drive from Joey Votto. He was making just his second start after a month-long stint on the disabled list with a sprained right toe.

Over 23 starts this season, Cook is 6-8 with a 5.08 earned run average.

Cook's next scheduled start was to be on Monday against San Diego, but he will be replaced by Jeff Francis, who will be making his first appearance since August 11 as he has been suffering from left shoulder soreness.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
