Well, the original reports from the weekend turned out to be wrong. We knew that Josh Fogg would miss his scheduled start on Sunday (Taylor Buchholz pitched in his place). However, optimistic reports from Fogg indicated he would avoid a stint on the DL. So much for that. The Rockies will play it safe and stick the right-hander on the DL, allowing Rodrigo Lopez, who is fresh off the DL, to start on Thursday.It was one of those things where I thought this Friday was a realistic goal, but giving me the extra four or five days isn't going to hurt," Fogg said. "There was still a question mark in the trainer's mind and the team's mind. And I can't go out there and put the team in a bad position when we might already be short on relievers."So let's see shall we, the last time we had a Rox pitcher DL party, Byung-Hyun Kim, Ramon Ramirez, Rodrigo Lopez, and LaTroy Hawkins were all invited. Now, Josh Fogg becomes the fifth pitcher to join the group. Colorado may not have been bitten as hard by the injury bug as the Yankees, but they've certainly taken the shaft this year. Luckily for them, it looks like Fogg won't miss more than his allotted two weeks.
