Injury Report- Updated

Here is an updated injury report for the FKAky's. The information is from Rotoworld.com.

Alfonso Soriano - OF - Updated 4/20/07
Alfonso Soriano hopes to return this weekend from the hamstring injury that has sidelined him since Monday.

"Running is the problem, not hitting. We'll see how I feel. Maybe I'll play Saturday. I would like to play nine innings. It depends on how I run. But it's up to the manager. I like to play every day," he said. The manager appears to be leaning towards holding him out until Monday or Tuesday. Lou Piniella wasn't even sure he'd make Soriano available as a pinch-hitter this weekend. "It's a risky thing. You're sitting there in cool weather, not real loose. If we really had too, I mean, we could," Piniella said. "We'd really try to stay away from it, if it all possible."

Alfonso Soriano (hamstring) took batting practice prior to Tuesday's game and said he might return to the lineup on Friday.

Soriano, who also jogged in the outfield on Tuesday, says his hamstring feels like it did in 2005 when he missed less than a week.

Josh Johnson - SP
Josh Johnson (elbow) remains pain-free after playing catch the past few weeks.

Johnson is expected to begin throwing from a mound in the next week or so. The current timetable for his return is early June.

Mike Gonzalez - RP - Updated 4/19/07
Mike Gonzalez said tests on his elbow Thursday discovered no major problems.

"Everything was great," he said. "It was just what we were expecting: a little bit of inflammation, a little tenderness. We just wanted to make sure because of what happened last year that nothing had been going on with the ligament. It was the best result we could get." Gonzalez is still at risk for additional elbow troubles. He's day-to-day for now.
