Accodring to WTAM after the game, Pronk sat due to elbow/shoulder issues related to why he sat out interleague games in San Diego and San Fran earlier this season. Apparently its not a big deal, he should be back Wednesday, Wedge wanted to keep him fresh thinking that he'd rather sit Pronk now than in September or have problems in the Playoffs.
When I heard that, first thing that came to mind was, don't you need to play Pronk to get to the playoffs? Worry about the playoffs when you make it not in July when you're a game out.
