Injury Update on Westbrook and Borowski
The Tribe got some good news on the injury front from the pitching side Saturday, as both Jake Westbrook and Joe Borowski threw bullpen sessions. Westbrook has been out with a left intercostal strain, that took place during his last start in Minnesota. As for Jo-Bo, he has been on the shelf with a tricep injury that seemed to cause him to lose intensity on his pitches. The injury came to light after he blew a 9th inning save vs the Red Sox at Progressive Field a few weeks back. Eric Wedge said yesterday that Westbrook could be back in the rotation by late May, and Borowski can return even before that, making for an interesting situation for the rotation and pen once both are ready to return.
