Prior’s agent John Boggs confirmed Friday that the right-hander has a tear in the capsule of his right shoulder, the shoulder he had surgery on in April 2007. Prior had an examination and an MRI exam on his shoulder on Wednesday at the office of Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala.
Andrews is the doctor who performed the original surgery. The result was a torn capsule, which will keep Prior, 27, from throwing for at least two weeks.
“It’s a setback, but in terms of how big of a setback, we won’t know until you know how (Prior) is feeling,” Boggs said. “We just hope it’s not a major setback.
“Mark is looking at it in a positive way. He will just lay low for a few weeks and let the shoulder settle down.”

Or coming back and being spectacularly ineffective.
Sad. He could have been one of the great ones. But I'd have to think all of the injuries will have sapped too much of his effectiveness.
Not necessarily. Having Prior not pitch for your fantasy team is better than having Barry Zito pitch for it.
Don't forget the other question - would he be healthy if he hadn't had Dusty Baker as a manager? Maybe - maybe not.

If Mark Prior can't stay healthy anymore after a couple of 130 pitch starts then no, he wouldn't have.
Incidentally, when did Prior fire Boras, or conversely, when did Boras walk away from Prior?
