A loss at every level

The MRI on Jose Campos’ elbow showed inflammation, but the timetable for his return is unknown at the moment. I’m glad it’s not a tear, but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time for that #trolltrolltroll. Probably going to miss a few weeks.

Ramiro Pena was placed on the DL yesterday, and apparently he has some kind of upper leg injury. A quad or groin, something like that.
