From Roto:

The Newark Star-Ledger reports that Joba Chamberlain is likely to miss the entire 2012 season following surgery to repair an open dislocation of his right ankle.
Chamberlain, who is also coming back from Tommy John surgery, suffered the gruesome injury while playing on a trampoline with his son. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman wasn't willing to put a timetable on the righty's return, but referred to it as a "significant injury" and that he "would like to believe it's not" a career-threatening ailment. Even if it doesn't end his playing career, it's possible his Yankees career is over. Chamberlain is arbitration-eligible for the final time this winter.

TAMPA, Fla. -- New York Yankees relief pitcher Joba Chamberlain suffered an open dislocation of his right ankle while playing with his son on Thursday.

"As we understand, they were at, they have these kids places where you jump on trampolines and stuff like that," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Friday.

Chamberlain had surgery on Thursday night at St. Joseph's Hospital, and is expected to remain in the hospital for several days for the injury, which resulted in an open flesh wound around the ankle.

Manager Joe Girardi was at the hospital early Friday morning, while Cashman planned to visit in the afternoon.

There was no timetable for Chamberlain's return, but Cashman labeled it a "significant injury." Chamberlain was already working his way back from Tommy John surgery last June.

A man that size has no business on a trampoline. He's putting his children's lives at risk.

Matter of fact, a grown man has no business on a trampoline. Wanna play with your kids get an xbox, Joba.

Sorry, but I enjoy laughing at stupidity. If you're a professional athlete and get injured doing something like playing on a trampoline, you're an idiot. This is up there with Plax shooting himself (and I'm a Giants fan).
