| Breaking News |  | Washington's Jose Pett Suffers Setback Friday, June 9th, 2000: Jose Pett is hurting again, just a few days into his treatment for elbow inflammation. Apparently the injury worsened, so the Generals sent the 23-year-old reliever back to the doctors for reexamination. Pett told them that the pain had gotten much worse in recent days. It was confirmed that the injury was indeed much more severe that first thought. He was sent to a specialist, who felt that treatment would be longer than first diagnosed.
