Skaggs Pulled from the Game

[Guest]

For those of you not in the GDT, Skaggs was just taken out of the game with an apparent arm injury.

Trade deadline expired five hours ago.

 

Just our luck.

[Guest]

Bad luck indeed. Here's hoping Skaggsy is OK.

[laagamer]

Just pack it in. Season over. 

[joeywings]

Throws a no hitter  4 1/3 innings and has an injury.

CJ Wilson is happy.

[Broad Street]

If he goes down, who steps in? Serious question, who is next on the depth chart?

[tomsred]

Nothing too serious.

CJ Wilson is starting this Saturday.

Skaggs was pointing to his forearm

[Stradling]

It looked like it was in his forearm.

OK so after our starting 5?

Hoping for the best but hard not to expect the worst with the barrage of arm injuries happening around MLB this year

 

That really sucked. He was having the best start of the season at that point

Maybe a bout of tendinitis?

That's not a good sign, either

 

Signs and symptoms of UCL injury can include the following:

• A popping sound may be heard when engaging in overhead throwing activities. This is the ligament tearing
• Inability to continue throwing sports
• Elbow pain on the inner or medial side that appears suddenly or gradually
• Achy pain to the inner side of the elbow with overhead throwing activity
• Numbness and tingling sensation to the ring finger and little finger
• Pain may radiate to the inner forearm, hand or wrist

[Lhalo]

Maybe a hurt wrist. Sometimes the pain will hit you in the forearm.

Isn't that how it started with Burnett last year? "Forearm tightness" or some such thing.

Evaluation by a sports medicine physician is important soon after the injury to try to determine the correct diagnosis quickly. X-rays are usually normal with this injury. In high-level athletes an MRI is often ordered to ensure that the pain is not coming from an underlying injury to the ulnar collateral ligament, also known as the Tommy John injury. Most of the time, a flexor-pronator strain is treated with rest from pitching for several weeks to give the tendons time to heal. Ice and physical therapy can also be helpful to decrease the athlete’s symptoms. As the pain improves, the pitcher will be started on a long toss program prior to returning to full pitching.

#Angels LHP Tyler Skaggs left the game because of left forearm tightness. Will be examined by docs, but does not appear to be serious.
