MLB.com: [Cliff] Lee gets treatment on sore back in Arlington

Rangers pitcher Cliff Lee was sent back to Texas on Tuesday to have his sore lower back examined by Dr. Keith Meister. Lee brought the problem to the Rangers’ attention following Tuesday’s 10-9 loss to the Royals.

Meister told the Rangers it was just some muscular pain and inflammation and gave Lee an injection to help alleviate the discomfort. Lee will rejoin the Rangers on Friday in Minnesota.

“Meister did not seem to think it was too serious,” Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine said. “He thinks the injection will give him a lot of relief.”
...
Lee went 1-4 with a 6.35 ERA in seven starts in August, and the back may have been a factor… “That would be speculative on our part, but he did intimate he has been feeling it for longer than one start,” Levine said.

Josh Hamilton got an injection the other day, too. I hope the Rangers haven't hired Dr. Nick as their team physician.
