There's bad karma emanating from Wrigleyville. The injury to Mark Prior, the result of a liner, was scary.

Mark Prior is hurt -- again. The right-hander, who began the season on the disabled list with elbow inflammation, was struck Friday by a line drive in the fourth inning against Colorado. ESPN has learned that an MRI taken later in the day revealed a fractured bone in Prior's pitching elbow. The club is unsure when he might return.

Will Prior become the fifth Cubs pitcher to do time on the DL this season? This doesn't take into account Carlos Zambrano's computer elbow. Is Chicago cursed? The Cubs are stuck in the middle of the NL Central, and they'll have to dig deep in the ensuing weeks to fill out their rotation. Standing pat in the standings could be considered an accomplishment.
