Carl Pavano (shoulder) has been shut down for 2012. An MRI and examination by specialist Dr. David Altchek on Tuesday in New York revealed a bruise on Pavano's humerus bone. "The good news is, it doesn't require surgery," said the veteran right-hander. "But as far as I'm concerned, this whole season has been a failure on many levels, for myself, for the team." He posted a 6.00 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 63 innings (11 starts).
