Padres' Forsythe On the DL With Plantar Fasciitis

It was just three weeks ago I blogged about San Diego Padres' Logan Forsythe, and how he hoped resting for a few days would clear up his plantar fasciitis.
I guess none of these athletes read up about plantar fasciitis, because they would know this is something that does not go away after a *couple of days rest*. Try a couple of months, if you are diligent about icing, resting, stretching, and wearing orthotics.  
Forsythe went on the 15 day DL last week after playing just three innings last Tuesday in a loss against the San Francisco Giants after being out since March 7th. 
Padres manager Bud Black said he had no choice but to take Forsythe out, saying, "It was really painful at the start of the game and with the intensity of the soreness, we had to take him out. The pain got worse the more he was on it."
Forsythe was the leading candidate to start third base for the injured Chase Headley on Opening Day, but now it's looking like it's likely he'll be replaced by Gregorio Petit
