Some good news (we hope)...

Honestly, this would be the best time for him to go down with a long term injury. This team is dead for the next few seasons. Hopefully he's absolutely fine.

He already had TJ.

Oh, I did not realize that...

Still very concerning. We have already seen several nothing to see here moments only to ultimately turn into major surgery. His velo is dipping and his elbow hurts. Something is wrong.

They think it’s mechanical. We’ll see if they’re right

Elbows are always worrisome, especially if he loses what makes him special to fix it.

His mechanics were crazy to begin with. Not surprised they caused issues with an increased workload.

What I don’t understand is if they think his mechanics are the issue, since he already had TJS in high school, why would they let it get to this point before they tried to do something about them?

Or draft him in the first place.

This is not good news.

Good in the sense that they are saying nothing is wrong and the MRI was clean.

Time will tell however as memories of Rodon, Dunning and Martin keep coming back. 

from what i've seen from past stories like this, MRI isn't the end all be all

i would bet there's a 75% chance he needs TJS again before he pitches his first big league game

Especially considering who the Sox passed on for him.

Yikes…

This team will probably be dead for my eternity.

Makes me wonder how they'll screw up on #10 in July.

The dreaded clean bill of elbow health

Pitchers should immediately schedule surgery right after the draft. Just get r done

I mean, I don’t care what the MRI says. Listen to the elbow. Shut him down. Unless there is a physical therapist that can contradict my paranoia.

Kopech was arguably the biggest blow to the rebuild when he went down...Dunning at least allowed them to trade for Lynn, who was good for about as long as Grandal before imploding.

If he already had the surgery, and presumably he had his delivery examined already, and the mechanics are still causing problems in the pros, does not inspire confidence in them finally working it out  now. They talk like they already knew what his issue was, and we are still dealing with whatever inflammation this is causing

Crochet was always a violent delivery guy iirc. The shoulder goes before the elbow usually. And it did. He is also on the list

He was flying way open in his delivery and his stuff wasn't as good. That's why he needed to go to Arizona for biomechanics work. They didn't have an issue with delivery otherwise

No issue other than his stuff tanking. MOG. I can’t believe that elbow soreness is not at least a partial impetus for the biomechanics work without a timeline to work with. A pitcher flying open with a delivery is usually a team’s pitching coach’s job to fix

I meant that his mechanics were off from what they were like before. Soreness was definitely a concern but he's fine
