Nationals SP Shawn Hill, Friday night's loser, had a cortisone shot in his right elbow on Saturday and hopes to make his next scheduled start against Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Injury Report
Elbow - Questionable for May 21 start vs. Philadelphia (Updated - 5/18/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Hill had surgery on his elbow this offseason, so any pain now sounds like a red flag for sure. Hill hasn't pitch well this season, particularly on the road, making him an NL-only option for now, but his Fantasy owners simply have to hope for the best in light of this news. He looks like a risky start for Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25). (Updated 05/18/2008).
