Curt Schilling to Miss Twelve to Sixteen Days

Red Sox hurler Curt Schilling's shoulder inflammation is serious enough that it is difficult to tell how much sinew is torn or stripped, but MRI results released by the team indicate little to challenge doctors' initial diagnosis of tendinitis.

With rest, rehabilitative exercise and an anti-inflammatory drug regimen, Schilling, with luck, will be back in twelve to sixteen days.
