Here we go again. San Diego Padres closer Joaquin Benoit will be sidelined for the next handful of games as his right pitching shoulder is again acting up.<\/p>\n

Kevin Quackenbush will again assume the closing duties with Benoit out of action. There currently is not a timetable for the return of Benoit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all the same (discomfort),\u201d Benoit said via the San Diego Union Tribune<\/a>. \u201cIt was good for a couple of days. When I came back, I guess I didn\u2019t give it enough time for the inflammation to go away. We\u2019re trying to get everything to calm down and then start over.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the same discomfort that Benoit experienced a few weeks ago which sidelined him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I pitched in Arizona, I felt great,\u201d said Benoit. \u201cIt\u2019s a situation where you have to deal with it and let it try to get better on its own time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 50 appearances this season Benoit owns a 1.58 ERA and a 0.82 WHIP. He has nine saves on the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
