According to ESPN, he's on the 15 Day DL. NOT GOOD!!

Rotator Cuff Tendinitis per Yankees pre game show(Kim Jones).

yes! Wheeeeeeeew....thank GOD

I don't know that I'd be breathing any sighs of relief.

Rotator anything is just about the last thing you want to hear other than torn labrum.

We'll see.

The Yankees baby Joba like no other. I would not be surprised if they shut him down for the rest of the year. Depending on how Kennedy, PAVANO and PONSON pitch, the Yankees wild card chances are diminishing quickly. Ugh.

"First off, don't buy the "diagnosis" the Yankees offered Wednesday night. "Rotator cuff tendinitis" isn't an actual injury -- it's the intentionally vague terminology the Yankees release to the media when they don't want to tell us (and, by extension, you) the truth.

They said Jorge Posada had rotator cuff tendinitis when what he had was a labrum tear that required surgery. So don't sit here this morning thinking you know what's wrong with Chamberlain, because you don't. I don't. We don't because the Yankees don't want us to, and so far we haven't been able to find out through back channels (still working on that, I promise).

The point, though, is that Chamberlain is hurt -- hurt enough to be on the disabled list and miss at least two of the roughly 10 starts that were left in his season. And if that's the case, they really should just shut him down and have him miss all 10."

Should we expect Joba to be back right after his DL stint? If not, should he be dropped?
