Mota? Marlins closer situation...

[Steve-o]

Does anyone know when Mota will be back, and for how long Todd Jones will be closing or if it is CBC? Is it safe to pick him up for the next week.

(I didn't see anyhting in the last few pages of the closer thread - just StL stuff)

Thanks...

Rotoworld was reporting that Mota was still experiencing pain in his elbow and when he threw on the side he was about 5 mph off of his normal speed. They said that if things don't improve this week, they may consider surgery

I'd say it's safe to pick up Jones if he's available.
