Update: Verlander Denies He’s Done for the Year

Author by raysfan1Posted in Baseball

Justin Verlander is reported to be done for the season due to an elbow injury.  Neither the Houston Chronicle nor MLB.com articles I saw specified what the specific injury is, but “elbow” and “gone for the year” often means a UCL injury—hope not.  He pitched the Astros’ opener, logging 6 scoreless innings as they won, and looked none the worse for wear afterward.  Regardless, losing him is a serious blow to the Astros hopes of repeating as pennant winners.

Update:  Verlander has tweeted he has a forearm strain and expects to be better with rest. He called the previous reports inaccurate.

  2. Here’s a thought. Maybe changing a pitching regimen that got you to first round HOF status was not the smartest idea he ever had.
