HBT: Yocum examines Weaver's sore shoulder

Not only is Jered Weaver is expected to miss his scheduled Friday start with shoulder soreness, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports that the Angels ace was examined this morning by Dr. Lewis Yocum.

Normally ?examined by Dr. Lewis Yocum? is enough to cause a panic, but in this case Weaver?s sore shoulder came from being hit by a line drive. In other words, we?re (presumably) not talking about a torn labrum or rotator cuff or any of the usual shoulder-related injuries on which Yocum is famous for performing surgeries.

Plus, Yocum is the Angels? team doctor, so Weaver going to see him is different than non-Angels pitchers doing the same.

Weaver is 16-4 with a 2.86 ERA and 121/38 K/BB ratio in 160 innings, although he?s struggled somewhat recently with a 6.14 ERA and seven homers allowed in his last five outings.
