    But shoulders, for pitchers, could be worse.

    any sort of torn muscle issue involving rotator cuff/labrum it’s probably season ending.

    Hopefully more just whatever “dead arm” used to be, which can happen as they ramp up from ST to full work loads in just 1-2 weeks.

    It’s not going to be just 15 days. Has nothing to do with the medical staff, they will just move him to the 60 day if needed.

    Well this start by LMJ today just became a lot more important. Hopefully his first one wasn’t a fluke because we actually need him now with Javier looking awful and Hunter out for however long that’s going to be.

    Weiss and Teng could be stretched out. There was talk about converting Nate Pearson to a starter and he’s also on the IL.

    Let’s hope it doesn’t get to the point where France or Alexander are making starts for us.

    Why bring Whitcomb up to start Allen? I hate that this career journeyman without a bat made our team.

    Allen is probably starting over Whitcomb for the same reason he made the team over Whitcomb.
