Brad Penny update

Dr. ElAttrache found no structural damage in Brad Penny’s shoulder, just some mild inflammation and some mild tendinitis. He won’t pitch on Friday, but he WILL throw on Friday. No word yet on whether he is headed to the DL, but it’s probably a safe bet at this point. … Nomar Garciaparra also saw Dr. ElAttrache today and was cleared to begin his minor-league rehab assignment tomorrow night with Triple-A Las Vegas. … Chin-lung Hu saw the eye doctor, who told him there is nothing wrong with his eyes. He’ll return to action immediately.
