Shane Bieber is getting TJ surgery, and now Strider has been diagnosed with UCL damage. Rough day. No fantasy impact for me but Bieber is on my favorite team and Strider is just simply fun to watch.

This is round 2 for UCL injury for Strider, so that is rough news for him. I lost Eury Perez to TJ and am still waiting to see what comes of Gerritt Cole.

As Pedro said yesterday it seems like there is an epidemic of these elbow injuries . Big very strong athletes throwing very hard / overloading the tissues . Poor preseason conditioning? Poor trainers ? With all the technology on pitching mechanics etc you would think this could be better . What are people’s thoughts ? Scipio

shopping for pitching on the waiver wire is adventure for sure!

Pitchers throwing harder for the strikeouts. Ks are great, best way for a pitcher to get an out, takes defense out of the equation. Funny thing is Strider had great mechanics, only thing he did different this year was add a curveball. Could be something to that. I'm sure the pitch clock will be a hot topic but guys were getting hurt this time of year alot for the last several years. TJ has been at an all time high for 5 years it seems like.

no doubt curveball stresses the UCL. I think thats why they dont let the little leaguers use it.

I remember watching a piece on Nolan Ryan. he rode a stationary bike after every start to strengthen his leg muscles. There might be something to that.
One of the glaring problems that seems to be overlooked is the year-round travel leagues and showcases. Focusing on one sport doesn't develop the whole body. The wear and tear on a kid's arm, if he pitches from the age of...say...ten years old and is constantly pushing his arm...there is disaster down the road.
