Wandy Rodriguez : September 7th, 2008, 7:50 pm est
It was the same injury that forced Rodriguez from his prior outing, but that one lasted 5 2/3 innings. This time, Rodriguez felt the pain right away, soon after he threw his first pitch to Rockies leadoff hitter Clint Barmes. Right-hander Jack Cassel took over for Rodriguez, who ended his day with three strikeouts over an 18-pitch inning. Rodriguez is scheduled to make his next start on Friday, Sept. 12 vs. the Cubs, but it would not be surprising if he is scratched. Cassel is a candidate to start in Rodriguez's place.
