"Arizona Diamondbacks ace Brandon Webb will skip his next start because of shoulder stiffness. Manager Bob Melvin said Yusmeiro Petit will take Webb's scheduled start Saturday night at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Webb will not throw at all for two days. Webb, whose 22 victories led the National League last season, experienced stiffness in his shoulder during Arizona's 9-8 Opening Day victory over the Rockies (ESPN)."
Well this makes my Arizona D-Backs in the playoff prediction look bad, but it doesn't sound like this is serious yet. It seems like he will just miss this one start, but it could be a very bad sign if his shoulder is already bothering him. Hopefully the D-Backs do the right thing and make sure he is 100% before throwing him back on the hill. Obviously if any long term injury happens to Webb the D-Backs playoff chances go down the tubes.
