Saturday, April 25, 2009

News: A further exam of Benson's elbow showed no structural damage, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Analysis: Benson hopes to throw from the mound on Sunday, and could return to the Texas rotation late next week when eligible; the more likely scenario has him returning early the following week with the way the rotation sets up. You'll want to keep him reserved next week in any case, as his possible start would come in Arlington against the White Sox.

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

News: Benson will have his start pushed back from Wednesday to Saturday due to elbow tendinitis, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Analysis: Benson struggled with his command and stuff during his last start, but he's still expected to be able to start on Saturday.
