DiFelice’s MRI reveals good news

Brewers reliever Mark DiFelice appears to have dodged a major bullet on Monday, when he traveled back to Milwaukee for an MRI scan that revealed only wear and tear in his aching right shoulder.

That qualified as good news for DiFelice, who underwent major surgery following the 2001 season to repair a SLAP tear to the labrum in his shoulder and needed 2 1/2 years to feel 100 percent healthy again. DiFelice worried that he might have suffered a similar injury on Sunday, when he felt pain in the joint and left the Brewers’ game in Arizona.

Instead, DiFelice will be shut down for at least four days before he’s evaluated again. Brewers manager Ken Macha said he might have additional information about the plan for DiFelice on Tuesday, but surgery doesn’t appear to be looming.
