JuggerNot? MRI for Schierholtz

Giants outfielder Nate Schierholtz was examined by a specialist Monday and is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam to determine the cause of spasms in his lower back.

Schierholtz already has missed time because of a sore hamstring that probably is related to the back issue. He said he had never experienced any problems with his back until now.

It has been a rough spring for Schierholtz, who had an emergency root canal a week ago. The problem stemmed from a chipped tooth he sustained in that famous collision with Chinese catcher Yang Yang while playing for the Bronze-medal-winning U.S. Olympic team in Beijing last summer.

The price of Freedom Stains is eternal vigilance, or at least a bit of novocaine.

I am not too sure something like this would linger for a long time, but I am sure Nate would fib a little bit if he had a lot of discomfort, so he could still play. Hope everything turns out negative.

Chipped tooth from eating Chinese? Remind me never to order Yang Yang w/skull.

Glad to see that J Martinez will start on Thursday in place of Sanchez.

So this opens up a roster spot for Manny, right?
