Hafner May Miss Weekend with Sore Right Shoulder
There are some rumblings that DH Travis Hafner might take the whole weekend off with his sore right shoulder. Hafner did not play Friday night in the teams 4-0 win in Minnesota. Eric Wedge said that the injury was minor. “He’s had a little (right) shoulder soreness,” the manager said. ”It’s been bothering him a little more the last couple of days. With an off day Monday, hopefully he’ll be all right. ‘I don’t think it’s anything serious. But this is something he’s had since spring training.” Hafner did homer on Thursday night in the teams 11-1 win over Detroit. He is hitting .242 with three homers and 12 RBI in what can be considered a rather slow start.

wish He would have stayed out the line-up so C.C. could have had a chance for a win today!
