Astros | Sampson: It could have been worse
Fri, 14 Sep 2007 02:18:35 -0700 The Houston Chronicle reports Houston Astros SP Chris Sampson (elbow), who missed almost all of August on the disabled list with tendonitis in his right elbow, has been shut down for the rest of the season with a sprained capsule in his right elbow. "It's more than likely a hyperextension, so it wasn't the ligament, which was encouraging," Sampson said.
