Michael Pineda—he of
GoopGate I and
GoopGate II—will be out 3-4 weeks with a Grade 1 teres major muscle strain in his back.
Pineda suffered the injury while throwing a simulated game yesterday. This is the same injury that has sidelined Los Angeles Dodger ace
Clayton Kershaw for over a month. It's unclear whether the injury was caused by awkwardly reaching for 'simulated' pine-tar. We're sure that
Joe Torre is putting his best people on the case to find out. Can you say "karma"?
