Victorino Still Ailing

Hard to keep the flyin' Hawaiian on the field this year. He is a 2-way contributor on offense & defense when healthy. But Shane Victorino still has a nagging hamstring & lower back issues. Victorino played at less than 100% before the break. Even after the rest period during the all-star break, he had to be lifted in the 4th inning last night as his hamstring acted up. Victorino needs to get right once & for all. Let Nava & Gomes handle the corner outfield spots for 10 days until his hamstring & back are fully recovered. These starts & stops are not good for Victorino nor for the team.
