As you likely already know, Kyle Weiland is heading back to Houston to get his right shoulder examined by team doctors.
Weiland:
"It's been building up a little bit since late Spring Training. Nothing too serious; it's stuff that I've felt before, and I want to stop it before it gets worse."
True. Weiland struggled in his sophomore year at Notre Dame as a result of an off-season shoulder injury (and thanks to shuttling between Notre Dame's bullpen and rotation). Ultimately, we'll have to wait and see what the report is before making a determination - but it's not a great sign for Weiland that he's having his spot skipped.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
