rolling injuries 2014

A.J. Ellis sprains ankle during no-hitter celebration, goes on DL

@jonahkeri
Yup, he was already written into tomorrow's column MT @RyanPBoyer Yordano Ventura lit up by Astros/leaves with injury after velo drops to 91

top royals prospect kyle zimmer, the fifth overall pick in 2012, hasn't pitched in game action this year due to tendinitis. now he's out 6-8 weeks with a lat injury, might be back in time to make three or four starts in august

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.

(presumably by hail)

he had whooping cough last year!

johan santana has a torn achilles, no doubt due to throwing too many pitches in a no-hitter two years ago

The San Diego Padres have placed second baseman Jedd Gyorko on the 15-day disabled list with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

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

oh, the option on withrow was rescinded so that's cool

cuddyer dl'ed again, can't stay healthy

tommy john for matt wieters

Pomeranz punched a wooden chair out of frustration on his way back to the clubhouse last night.

Jane Lee ‏@JaneMLB 3h
Pomeranz to the DL with a fractured right hand. Scribner called up from Triple-A.

he's a lefty -- rub some dirt on it

Or wear a protective glove made of leather!

Gavin Floyd was having a really good game against the Nats but his rebuilt elbow went pffft in the 7th. He had a bulge like a ping pong ball sticking out of it as he left.

Broken olecranon (tip of the elbow bone), wtf. At least it wasn't the TJ ligament.

all the st. louis cardinals have shoulder injuries

Yonder Alonso to DL with ailing wrist; a mainstay of my All-Stinko team

uuuuuuugh

Evan Gattis, bulging thoracic disc, 15-day.

bronson arroyo, tommy john

bronson arroyo, soon to retire, surely

here comes jimmy mod with the negative vibes

uh oh

Masahiro Tanaka flies back to New York for MRI on right arm

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.

Tanaka to DL

Various hernandezeshave made a living throwing mid-80's slop xp

NYY keep finding new and exciting ways to hover at .500. Hoping tanaka has an extended shutdown phase and they're officially out of it by mid august. I know I am the only one who cares in the affirmative about nyy

yadier molina and brandon phillips both out with torn thumb ligaments

(rumor has it that they were thumb wrestling and things got too intense)

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.

whoa

btw has nonsurgical rehab *ever* worked for a partially torn ucl y/n

iirc dr andrews (who is actually a james bond villain) usually says "go ahead, try the nonsurgical rehab" before cackling maniacally and then muttering "and i'll see you soon afterward for the ol' TJ" to himself

Theeeeeere we go

i ask again - does anyone else think dr. andrews is evil?

cc out for year

btw has nonsurgical rehab *ever* worked for a partially torn ucl y/n

it has, not often

too late to coax Andy & Roger out of retirement again?

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.

matt cain is 'getting a second opinion from dr. james andrews'

sounds like he's going to be out for a while.

RIP matt cain

you don't talk to dr. james andrews without getting something amputated the following weekend

At least he got his money.

anyone else hear the rumor that dr andrews is tommy john's abandoned bastard son

yeah, the writing is on the wall for Cain.

Cliff Lee exited tonight's game against the Nationals in the third inning, gesturing toward his elbow.

guess cliff won't be a waiver trade either. and he's due $25m next year

It's been reported that Cain does not need TJ surgery!

Eric Hosmer likely out 3-4 weeks with broken hand

Unconfirmed reports that Dr. James Andrews was seen limping out of the backroom of his lair office, bleeding heavily and with an axe protruding from his left calf. simultaneously, Matt Cain was seen sprinting out of the front door of the building, waving his arms and shouting "call 911! 911! He's lost his mind!". Gunshots and bloodcurdling screams were heard in the building shortly before Andrews and Cain emerged, with some observers noting "evil cackles" from a voice resembling Andrews.

lol
