Troy Glaus's knee continues to bother him.

Prolonged treatments hadn't eased the soreness in the third baseman's right knee enough to get Glaus down the hall to the private players' lounge any quicker.

He paused momentarily when asked how he was doing after being pulled from the 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners after struggling through a fourth-inning at-bat.

"Obviously, not well right now,''said Glaus, offering up a quick grin on an otherwise long face.

Glaus ranks 11th in the majors in slugging percentage as a third baseman.
