[mvp 78]

Probably out forever

lol, I posted this in the Game Thread. Who knows what it is yet, but certainly not good

[Youk Of The Nation]

It's probably elbow cancer. Or elbow AIDS. Or Elbowla.

Elbowla!! LOL!!

I just read the transcript from him. Long term recurrent discomfort since college, moreso today and his velo was down. I am clearly concerned that this is UCL, maybe a partial tear that’s been there for a bit. Not good

Elbowla!! LOL!!

 

Leave it to Youk.

Hopefully he just banged his elbow on a wall or something

[jacksonianmarch]

It’s been hurting him for awhile. He feels intermittent soreness and has since college. Yesterday the pain was worse and his velocity was down. There’s something in there. If it’s a chronic problem that doesn’t require anything more than rest, fine, but I’ll plan for the worst and hope for the best

Shoot him up with platelets and wait.

10 Day DL

[jacksonianmarch]

“Flexor strain” is never something you want to hear your pitcher having. Half of these people really have underlying UCL damage.

[Carpin]

he will be out 2 months (at least)

[jacksonianmarch]

Getting TJS. Not surprised

[mvp 78]

probably out forever

 

rip

[Station 13]

RIP In Pieces

[bkzwhitestrican]

So probably won't see him until 2020. There goes a promising young career.

[jacksonianmarch]

We will see him after the ASB next year.

[Spudboy]

I get a kick out of people saying "partial tear".

 

What does that even mean? Think about it.

 

If you have a tear in a ligament you have ripped it some how. There is nothing "partial" about it.

 

If you completely tear a ligament then it is severed, or ruptured.

 

Whatever.

 

I spell Doughnut not Donut.

 

Never mind.

 

Yankees need some pitching at the deadline.

[mvp 78]

We will see him after the ASB next year.

 

Maybe in the commentating booth.

It’s a 14 month recovery between knife and first start assuming all goes well. He will be an option for us down the stretch in 2019. He may not be any good 14 months out, but he’ll be able to pitch. He should return to being good by start of year 2020
