Placido Polanco has been on and off the DL a couple of times since being hit on the elbow this April by Tim Hudson. The injury led to tendinitis and a loss of power. Each time the third baseman dives to the ground on that elbow, we wince. It now turns out that Polanco has a small break in his elbow. He is waiting till the end of the season for the needed surgery. If he had it now, he would miss September and October baseball. Send the man some arnica, please, with lots of love and kisses!
