Los Angeles Dodgers' SP Brad Penny is injured again. Dodger's manager Grady Little pulled Penny after letting up six straight hits and four runs in the bottom of the fourth. Penny pitched only 4 1/3 innings against the Atlanta Braves. After being pulled, Penny revealed that he has been dealing with shoulder soreness and an aching back. "I wanted a chance to get that inning out of the way," Penny said, adding "I'm out there pitching hurt. ... I don't appreciate not getting the chance with a three-run lead to finish the inning." Little said that Penny's complaints would be addressed. If Penny is forced to the DL, the Dodgers would likely insert Odalis Perez into the rotation.
