Corbin has UCL damage, TJ likely

[HPC]

Was at the game yesterday when it happened

He was doing pretty well until he threw that pitch then called for the trainer to come out.

With our rotation already average and banged up, maybe this will be Bradley's way to crack the rotation.

It will be Archie's opening, to lose, for sure.

What is that now, like 7 TJ victims this spring so far? Yikes....

Well we overused him last year……… and having him pitch 7 innings in ST is ridiculous! Hoping for a speedy recovery.

7 innings and over 90 pitches!! I listened to the Indians broadcast and Tom Hamilton was stunned that he was allowed to come back out. 2 pitches later he was being helped off the mound

All pitchers throw 7 inning or 100 pitches in their last start before the season.

Looks like his last start came almost 2 weeks earlier than most this year-- might have been why his arm wasn't ready. Who knows? Either way, it sucks for him and baseball.

He was supposed to start the season opener next weekend. The Diamondbacks have been in camp longer than other teams due to them playing the Opener an entire week earlier than others in Australia

Yes, they knew well in advance and have been preparing for a while. We don't see all the Dbacks and Dodgers starters popping their ulnar ligament. It was simply bad luck.

And another one bites the dust.

This time it's Jarrod Parker.

Yes, perhaps, but not all those pitchers are as nasty as Corbin. He may have to push his arm to limits the others aren't in order to throw his full repertoire at max exertion. Plus, he may be pushing it too hard, too soon.

Does he throw an OK change up? Also, how about J.Parker? I have my own theory on that being a deadly pitch to the ulnar ligament tearing down process.
