April 22, 201411 yr It looks like 2014 will be a year filled with injuries. Beckham, Garcia, Eaton and now Sale. Me no likey.
April 22, 201411 yr Son of a b****. Hope it's not serious and just a precaution. Better to err on the side of caution then risk him in a year like this.
April 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 03:27 AM) 3 is my guess. Maybe 4. I wonder if coop will put him in the bullpen again when he gets back.
April 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) Any chance that Hansen will be the dude they bring up? Since he started yesterday and we need someone for tomorrow or Wednesday, I doubt it
April 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 09:28 PM) Aren't flexor muscle strains typically from overuse? My brain is telling me so but I'm not sure where I'm actually getting that information from. The wrist flexor muscles sit on top of the UCL. You can strain them two different ways while pitching (insert wrist flexion while on the computer joke here). One is to over exert the wrist flexion or pronation or turning the hand palm down. This usually comes from fatigue. The other is when there is stress on the elbow in a valgus motion during the throwing motion. This is when the humerus leads the forearm too much and you can injure the UCL or strain the muscles which are trying to help the UCL hold the medial side of the elbow together. They hope that the muscle strain is not from the UCL loosening and the muscles need to do the work. Ideally it's an isolated strain and it's 2-3 week rehab.

April 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) Any chance that Hansen will be the dude they bring up? Leesman in line to pitch Wednesday for Charlotte. No way Hanson comes up
April 22, 201411 yr @DanHayesCSN: Charlie Leesman starts tomorrow and Andre Rienzo goes Wednesday. #WhiteSox
April 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) Tomorrow is Rienzo I said tomorrow or Wednesday because Hawk kept saying Rienzo was pitching Wednesday
April 22, 201411 yr I can't f***ing believe Robin let him go 127 in a meaningless game. f***ing firable offfense.

April 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) Leesman's YTD stats: http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?p...&pid=489056 THey need to bring a long man up with him. He walks waaay too many guys.
April 22, 201411 yr Enjoy .500 record tonight because it is gone for year on Tuesday! Injuries just suck.

I wouldn't be surprised if Leesman is sent down after the game is over. Bring up a fresh bullpen arm and hope that Hanson can go on the next go-around.

So theoretically it could well be down to throwing a lot of pitches?

April 22, 201411 yr Author By the way, the edited title needs an edit. Unless Chris spilled some salsa on his flexor.
April 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 02:36 AM) This never ends well Feels like there's been a few guys of late with similar situations/clean MRI that ended up getting TJS a few weeks later.
