Nathan has significant ligament tear

Baseball Betting Lines

03/09/2010 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Minnesota Twins closer Joe Nathan reportedly has a significant ligament tear in his right elbow.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune said tests revealed damage to the ulnar collateral ligament.

According to the report, Nathan will rest the elbow for two weeks to allow swelling in the area to subside. He will then try to strengthen the elbow before trying to pitch.

If rehab does not work, surgery will be necessary.

Nathan faced one batter Saturday in a spring training game against Boston and left the mound after experiencing tightness in the elbow. He left Florida and traveled back to Minnesota on Sunday for tests.

The 35-year-old Nathan is coming off a franchise-record 47-save season in 2009. He threw to a 2.10 earned run average in 70 appearances but had to have bone spurs and loose bodies removed in his right elbow following the season.

Over his 10-year career, Nathan has compiled 247 saves to go with a 2.75 ERA in 533 games -- 29 starts.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
