Prior still not ready to give up: Padres SP Mark Prior, who underwent season-ending surgery on his right shoulder Wednesday, said he will attempt to come back from his latest surgery. Prior had arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder in April 2007. He was attempting a comeback after he signed as a free agent with San Diego in the offseason. But a recent setback required another surgery on his right shoulder on Wednesday. "I feel like I can pitch," Prior said. "The good thing I have going is that I am still young. I want to play. I want to pitch at a high level again." (Updated 06/08/2008).
Injury Report
Shoulder - 60-day DL. Out for the season (Updated - 6/1/08)
Fantasy Analysis
When Padres team doctors Heinz Hoenecke and Jan Fronek performed the latest surgery, they found a completely different injury when the capsule in Prior's shoulder had been torn away from the bone. It is called HAGL -- a humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligaments. "Obviously it's frustrating," Prior said. "I was throwing the ball well and I was going in the right direction. I didn't really expect this. One pitch, and it came out of nowhere." Prior will try to return at some point in 2009, but he is not worth owning in any Fantasy format at this time.
