Bourn might be out until the weekend because of a sore left groin, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Spin: He suffered the injury in Monday's game. Darin Erstad got the start in center in Bourn's absence. Bourn owners should hope he doesn't return until he is close to 100 percent, as his ability to steal bases is tied to his lower-body health.
Atleast I got 2 steals from him in my weekly line-up(which I hate).I hope this injury doesn't linger.I drafted him for the same reason everyone else did SB's.This news isn't very good for us Bourn owners. :,-(

Yeah, this situation is definitely going to hurt me in the SB department until he comes back but I'd rather have him wait it out until he's 100% then come back at only partially that and possibly re-injure himself. He's valued highly on all my roster's because of his quick legs. Hopefully he'll be back at 100% soon.

Michael Bourn was Bourn to run. simple as that.

Is anyone else worried? Considering the type of injury it is,is it the type of injury that can linger. :-o

there's been no word on Yahoo on Bourn's condition. Does anyone have any info from other sources?

Latest update from Rotoworld:

Michael Bourn is aiming for a Friday return from a mild groin injury.
"I don't think I want to rush it to be in there today," he said. "And probably not tomorrow. You don't want to rush it." Darin Erstad is playing center field in his place.
