Let’s take a look at the latest injury news from around the game …
- Dodgers lefty Tony Cingrani has undergone surgery on his left shoulder labrum, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports on Twitter. The recovery will cost him the remainder of the season. This news doesn’t come as a surprise, but it does represent confirmation that Cingrani will hit the open market without throwing another pitch in Los Angeles.
- Phillies reliever Seranthony Dominguez is “hoping for a miracle” when it comes to his own potential surgery, as he tells reporters including Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer (via Twitter). He’ll receive a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews, but all indications are that Tommy John surgery will ultimately be performed.
- The Braves haven’t yet seen much progress for outfielder Ender Inciarte, skipper Brian Snitker told David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and other reporters. (Twitter link.) The veteran center fielder has yet to engage in any significant baseball activities, Snitker indicates, as the club has exercised ample care with his lumbar strain. “Still no timetable,” says Snitker. “… It’s kind of two steps forward and one back, it seems, in the whole process. It’s a back; you’ve got to be careful.”
- There’s quite a bit of talent still bouncing around the injured list for the Yankees, with outfielder Aaron Judge the most notable of several stars. He’s making some measurable progress, having now advanced to taking cuts against high-velo pitching machines, manager Aaron Boone told reporters including Coley Harvey of ESPN (via Twitter). It’s even possible that Judge will be ready for some live action this weekend. There’s still no real timeline, but it certainly seems the slugger’s left oblique is feeling better.
- A pair of Yankees righties have health events of some note tomorrow, Boone also announced. (MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch covered the news; Twitter links.) Reliever Dellin Betances (shoulder) is “still a little bit sore” after a recent setback, so he’s headed in for another MRI. Meanwhile, the club will see if a cortisone shot will help Domingo German deal with a hip flexor strain. He’s already on the IL but is hoping for a brief stay.
Was Cingrani’ labrum torn or?????
It was reported a while back that Cingrani was done for the season, I was wondering why he wasn’t released when they found that out. Does a player have to have their surgery (if needed) done before getting released?
It would not suprise me at all if they re signed him to a minor leauge deal in the offseason. They really like him and he wont have many options
They can not release them or trade them while on the IL. It was one of the amendments the players association negotiated in many years ago.
I wonder how much the Braves are taking their time with Ender so there’s no pressure on Riley.
You heard it here first.
The Yankees bullpen is tired because the Yankee starters can’t get past 5 innings. An Issue that’s be going on for many many years now. Because the Yankees just won’t spend on starting pitching and as the season goes on the bullpen is going to fail more often then none.
Many Yankees fan thought that the Yankees did not need any SP before the season started. The SP of this staff has been a problem for the past 10 years if not more. Cashman does not know how to build a top flight SP staff.
Who in their right mind brings back both CC and Happ. Both closing in on 40 and one with knees so bad he cannot stay on the field. Enough with these great clubhouse guys they are clogging up room on the roster.
Stop the nonsense and go out and spend a fortune on SP.
Morales and Gardner
This team has some issues.
The biggest issue is Hal Steinbrenner and family. I predict Betances will sign as free agent with the Red Sox to spite Randy Levine and the front office!
Ender is done. Stick a fork in him and trade him
He should’ve been traded in the offseason. At this point, there’s no trade value. Same with Camargo
We don’t know what do so with ender so we will keep portraying that he’s hurt… Same ol same ol and now gausman joined the same ship.
Gotta keep Riley bat in the lineup and he’s serviceable in LF, but man I miss enders D in CF!
Braves should trade with Giants. Duvall,J.Ramos,A.Jackson,L.Gohara,Winkler and B.Wilson FOR W.Smith,Baumgarner and Watson.
