… recovery time for pro athletes is typically 2-3 months. Not what a prime player who will be entering free agency wants, but at least it doesn’t involve damage to muscles or tendons in his pitching arm.
More of a problem for the Tigers, who already are hurting re: starting pitching with an elderly Verlander on the IL and Flaherty stinking up the joint. Their signing of Framber Valdez is looking better and better.
