AJ Burnett Will Miss His Start This Week

[TheAbreu]

After his start against the Cubs last week, he had pain in his elbow. He's getting the start off as a precautionary manuever. I'm dumping him, because I need the starts. I would suggest people using Paul Byrd now on Friday against whomever Florida uses to replace Burnett. Atlanta should be able to hit Howard or whomever they trot out, and Byrd's been on lately.

Thanks for the info I'll give this a bump so others can see it.

too bad he is hurt. He was just starting to pitch well.

I hate news like this...I've penciled him in as my starter of the future in my keeper league, and if this is a sign of things to come (or of what has been) then I could be in trouble.

Hope so too, but it looks like for now, I'll need another spart starting pitcher. KULCAT here I come.

Who is pitching in his place so I can see if I should start Wright?

Logan Kensing(?). it'd be his second ML start. they brought him up from single-A.

So I am guessing Wright is a good start tomorrow?
