Sweeney out with ailing elbow; Gorgen close

Biscuits third baseman Matt Sweeney is out of the lineup for a fifth straight game today with an ailing elbow. Manager Billy Gardner called it "a little case of inflamed elbow" and was hopeful he'll be OK by Wednesday when Montgomery starts a series at Mobile.

"It's feeling a little better," Sweeney said. "I hope it's not too long before I'm back."

Also, reliever Matt Gorgen threw a 25-pitch bullpen session and is expected back Wednesday, too. He's on the DL with biceps tendinitis. Today's bullpen was his second.
