No surgery, injections planned for Rolen

"Reds third baseman Scott Rolen, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left shoulder on Friday, was optimistic on Saturday that the injury wouldn't require more cortisone injections or surgery. "I don't need a repair or anything," Rolen said. "I don't have a torn rotator cuff. I don't have a labrum that's torn." Rolen missed most of 2005 with the Cardinals because of a torn labrum in the same shoulder that required surgery. It's been a problematic spot since. During his earlier DL stint from April 24-May 12, he received two cortisone shots on the shoulder to reduce his discomfort. There was no specific incident that triggered the latest issue, but Rolen was in pain after the game and during Thursday's off-day spent at home in Indiana."
