Some excellent news on Brent Burns today, whose potentially disastrous injury last night has turned out to be "more charley horse than a knee" according to David Pollak via Twitter. McLellan mentioned that Burns may be able to play immediately following the All-Star Break-- whether or not that comes to fruition is nearly irrelevant in the big picture of course, as the main takeaway from today's presser should be that he does not appear to be looking at a long-term ailment that would take him into April.
