Jesse Biddle, the Philadelphia Phillies' top pitching prospect, had to miss a start earlier this week because of headaches after he reportedly was hit on the head during a hail storm last Thursday.

heralded rockies prospect eddie butler, after being shelled in his big league debut friday, has been placed on the 15-day DL with a rotator cuff issue
at least he'll presumably be paid as an injured major leaguer, unlike chris withrow, whom the dodgers optioned just before he was diagnosed with a torn UCL. gotta be a grievance for that, tho, as he never even pitched for the AAA club
― mookieproof, Monday, 9 June 2014 23:50 (ten years ago) link

Arroyo has another year on his D-Back contract, he will try to come back.
If Arroyo somehow gets a bit back on his fastball from the surgery and recovery like some others have had, I could see him pitching into his 40s. He even talked about it on this interview a couple years ago.

BA: To be honest with you, I think I could pitch as long as I can throw the ball 87-88 mph. I don’t know how long I’ll be able to do that. Physically, weight-room-wise, on the mound, I don’t feel much different than when I was 30. I’m 36 now.
The prime of my life, as far as velocity and strength, was in 2006. I was probably throwing the hardest when I first got traded here. I was 88 to 91-92. I don’t get the ball up to 90 mph much any more. I’ve had four outings here in the spring — granted, it’s spring training and there’s not a lot of adrenaline going — and I’ve only hit 89 once. I’ve been living at 87-88.
If I can keep doing that, I think I can pitch as long as I want to. My mind is better. You get more comfortable being out there in jams. You’re not panicking in situations. As time goes on, everything is easier — except keeping your velocity.

Masahiro Tanaka has a partially torn UCL and will undergo nonsurgical rehab, New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday night.In a best-case scenario, the Yankees ace will miss six weeks, Cashman said. If rehab doesn't work, Tanaka likely will need Tommy John surgery.

takashi saito came back from a partial tear using PRP
Saito credited his unlikely recovery from a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow that he suffered in July to a cutting-edge medical procedure, which, to his knowledge, had never been tried on a major league pitcher.
