Bad news for Ryan

It hasn't been a good week to be a local pitcher in a big league camp.

Earlier this week, Scott Baker, a former Captain Shreve star, was battling the flu, which caused him to miss a couple of bullpen sessions.

Now, former Airline standout B.J. Ryan is experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired left elbow.

I'm not sure how bad the soreness is, but you can bet Toronto will play it safe with Ryan this time after his elbow began to give on him last spring training.
