"Chris Young is unlikely to return to the Padres rotation until after the All-Star break because of the inflammation in his right shoulder.

Padres manager Bud Black Thursday said the Padres are going to follow a cautious timetable with Young.

"I came back too soon a couple of times," Black said. "In the long run, nothing good comes of that. You can pass all the tests and feel good until you put a load on it."

When Young's shoulder bothered him after his June 14 start in Anaheim, the Padres hoped he might only miss one start and delayed putting him on the disabled list. Then, after the first of two cortisone injections, Young went on the disabled list June 17 with hopes of missing only two starts."
