Stephen Strasburg has significant UCL tear, will likely require Tommy John surgery

Guess they rushed him to the majors. Too bad.

Such sad, sad news! I don't want to wait until 2012! I knew I should have saw him last month! Grrrr!

He was/is an incredible pitcher though. Worth every million, well, until he got injured.

Hopefully he recovers 100%.

Hopefully he recovers 100%.

I hope so!

I'm an O's fan (whispering) but I did watch the Nats when Strasburg pitched...he was *that* good, IMO.

What a shame. Hopefully all goes well with his recovery.

That's really a shame. He's so young, hopefully he can bounce back.

This seems to be happening more frequently with young pitchers. As long as he completes his rehab properly he should be ok but it will take a while for him to be back to 100%.
