Yet the circumstances merit further scrutiny, medical sources told 670 The Score.

“There is no such thing as biceps bursitis,” one doctor said. “There’s biceps tendinitis, and there’s shoulder/subacromial bursitis, but there really isn’t a clinical entity known as biceps bursitis.

“Either this is simply being misreported or misnamed by accident, or there is something more significant going on.”

The doctor specifically raised the idea of a small labral tear despite the reportedly clean MRI, due to how often such injuries fail to show up via that imaging.

Who is "one doctor"? Some assbag calling himself Dr. Mengele in Rock Island who called into their show claiming to be a surgeon?

But I do agree this Rodon thing smells like an attempt to avoid surgery that will waste a season with Rodon eventually undergoing the knife anyway.

Obviously we don't know the details....but I was thinking that today on my drive to work. If he had surgery (assuming one is an option) already...he'd already be healing and rehabbing. Now he / they may just be extending the inevitable. Hard to say...but it doesn't feel right whatever it is. The Cubs fan in me recalls the all too often scenarios with Wood & Prior and all the BS dealing with their issues.

Dolphin told me that Rodon would be better than Arrieta.

Should have drafted Schwarber. He was sitting right there...

I'm going to use OPS only, in this instance

convenient in Schwarbers' case, as he will only be negative on defense and baserunning

I'm not familiar with the Caller Bob body of work, but that is an IMU specialty

The source was some Dr. that emailed the show months ago. I remember him reading it on air.

I believe it breaks doctor's ethical codes to publicly diagnose a specific person whom they have not inspected. This would explain why Dan's source is both anonymous and should not be relied upon.

There is a physician who posts at soxtalk who had a different opinion than Dan's source, if that matters.
