Pineda Diagnosed with Anterior Labral Tear, Surgery Set for May 1

[Yankee Clipper]

@BloggingBombers:

Dr. Ahmad called it "a discreet tear," which is why they're doing arthroscopic surgery.

Also...

@BloggingBombers:

Cashman: "Without a doubt, the injury occurred during the rehab outing." He said this tear would have shown up on a normal MRI.

[YEDN90]

Well his career is probably over.

@BloggingBombers:

Isn't that like saying only the tip went in....

[TrueYankee]

At least we know why his velocity has been down.

Doctors are basically assuring people that he will pitch again. Whether he will be effective is another question entirely.

In his rehab assignment, yes.

[TrueYankee]

He tore it during rehab??

Disappointing doesn't even begin to cover it.

If I was Banuelos and Betances I would be hoping for a trade.

I thought I'd have to wait till next year to crow I told you so!
Look, it was obvious to anybody paying attention that he was gassed in the second half and that Seattle was too willing to give him up. Lots of red flags.
I hated giving up Montero!
This will haunt us year in and year out as he turns into Miggy Cabrera.
You don't give up a stick like that for a promising young arm.
There are too many promising young arms who fall by the way side every day.
This sucks.

Expecting him to be the best hitter in all of baseball is a bit much.

Wish my balls were fkn wrong. I know a lot about this injury. Zero percent chance he throws over 90 agin. Zero.

Jake Peavy disagrees.

Well I'm gonna hope the best for him and I hope he pitches again..weather or not he will be effective is yet to be known. And who knows maybe campos a stud.
