Koji update

Manager Dave Trembley revealed today that Koji Uehara has undergone an arthrogram on his sore right elbow, but the results were not yet available. Orioles orthopedist Dr. John Wilckens is expected to evaluate the results later this afternoon.

An arthrogram is an xray that is enhanced by a contrast material -- usually some kind of dye -- that is injected into the joint to reveal either structural or soft tissue damage. Trembley said it was the routine next step in evaluating Uehara's elbow, but it is not necessarily a routine procedure. It's not unreasonable to speculate that the Orioles medical staff sent Uehara for the test because there is suspicion that the injury is more serious than simple tendinitis.

Uehara will not accompany the Orioles on their West Coast road trip.

About Peter Schmuck

Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
