Frank Francisco (elbow) could be shut down
Frank Francisco - R - New York Mets
Sept. 23, 2012 - 11:30 AM ET

Frank Francisco (elbow) could be shut down for the season.

Francisco had a setback with his right elbow Saturday and won't be available for several more days, at least. He doesn't have structural damage in the elbow, but the Mets have little to gain by bringing him back this season. Jon Rauch will continue to serve as the closer.
