Sam Cline Sidelined for Season
<Hartford:team#50> starting pitcher <Sam Cline:player#11518> could miss the remainder of the season because of a fractured elbow. He exited yesterday's <Erie:team#53> game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Cline would be out 4 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer. "He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that."

To date this year, <Cline:player#11518> shows a 7-5 record, 20 starts, 96 innings, 89 strikeouts and a 4.69 ERA.
