MAJOR ELBOW INJURIES HIT 2 NL TEAMS

Two teams that you would normally expect to contend for the National League Crown, are the St. Louis Soul and the Philadelphia Cheese Steaks. Both franchise are solid teams which are run by talented owners. Both teams have huge amounts of talent on the ML level, and they are major reasons of their success. However, as we all know, sometimes luck plays a part as well. Good luck, or in this case, bad luck. And boy, did bad luck hit the Soul and Cheese Steaks today. Two big-time SPs saw their S8 possibly come to a close today, as St. Louis' Vicente Trevino and Philadelphia's Paul LeCroy suffered major elbow injuries.

In the 7/26 PM cycle game against Montgomery, LeCroy suffered severe elbow tendinitis which will possibly sideline him for the rest of the season. Philadelphia has not made a decision yet, as they are still waiting on MRI results on LeCroy's elbow. Trevino suffered an elbow strain in St. Louis' 7/26 PM game against Seattle. St. Louis wasted no time moving Trevino to the 60-day DL, making his return this season highly doubtful. St. Louis thought they had an inside track to one of the Wild Card spots when they obtained all-star SP Hi Priest, but the loss of Trevino puts the Soul right back where they started.
