Elbow To Sideline Mark Worrell Indefinitely

The Padres' bullpen took another hit Wednesday, and that was before their game against the Rangers.

Shortly after he traded Khalil Greene to the Cardinals for two minor leaguers in December, General Manager Kevin Towers said he “sold low” on Greene, whose $6.5 million salary influenced the move.

Wednesday, the Padres shut down a Triple-A reliever they obtained in the trade – Mark Worrell – because of elbow soreness and sent him to San Diego for further examination. “It doesn't look great,” Black said.

A second minor league pitcher will complete the trade this month, said Towers, who declined the Giants' offer of reliever Jack Taschner for Greene.
