Unhappy Halladay

Roy Halladay will have his shoulder examined after another poor outing Sunday afternoon:

Halladay was roughed up Sunday by the Miami Marlins in a 14-2 defeat, his second poor outing in a row. After the game, the two-time Cy Young Award winner acknowledged he has been pitching with a sore shoulder. He said he will have tests this week in Los Angeles and be examined by Dr. Lewis Yocum.

“It’s not something that I had before,” Halladay said. “It’s something new this year. I felt good all spring. I had soreness in there and just wasn’t able to get rid of it.”

I’m not surprised. Too often you see a good player go through a long, poor streak, and it turns out there was an injury hampering his production. Roy is about to turn 36, so one has to be concerned with the rest of his career at this point.
