Prior Has Elbow Inflammation

Kerry Wood has tightness in his shoulder. Now Mark Prior has inflammation in his elbow. Cubs fans sweat. MLB.com reports: "Chicago Cubs pitcher Mark Prior will miss his next spring start Tuesday because of inflammation in his elbow, which developed after his first outing. Prior, who did not pitch until June last year because of problems with his Achilles and elbow, had an MRI exam done Sunday on his right elbow. . . . There is no damage to the ligament and no damage to the ulnar nerve, Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said."

The article further notes that "Prior will not throw at least until Wednesday, and that would be on the side."
