Ouch: Pineiro Tore Elbow Ligament

Ouch, and out for the season, to be repaired with Tommy John surgery, no doubt, so he'll be back in 18 months or so. This may hasten the advance of Felix Hernandez. But... moving an 18 year old to the big club? That's another injury waiting to happen. And as Mariners Wheelhouse points out, the team doesn't have the best record when it comes to keeping their young pitchers healthy. Just look at Piñeiro.

Update: As expected, Mariners Wheelhouse already has a post up about this; I expect U.S.S. Mariner will shortly, as well.

Update: Not a tear, but he'll be out for a while. Hat tip to U.S.S. Mariner for the link.


Comments:
Well, it looks like surgery is being ruled out now. This brings up a great question: how did Pineiro dominate the Angels lineup when suffering from "elbow discomfort"? That's got to be a blow to one's manhood.
 
PIñiero said he hurt it on the third to last pitch of the game. If you recall, the last two Angel's batters in the 8th hit rockets that went right to Leone at 3rd and Hansen at 1st.
