I've read where forearm pain is a strong indication of a serious issue to come usually ending up with TJ surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 It’s good to know about it before he is in the majors but I expect a TJ surgery in his near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something other than this arm difficulty that has hit Dunning, some shoulder problem or something? Has he had TJS before? Because this just seems like a recurrence of what he was dealing with last year, where last year's time off just wasn't enough to heal the damage. Because the solution is TJS, and if that takes - it was one injury that they could have dealt with last year, decided to rehab rather than opting for surgery, and then were proven wrong. At least this one costs no service time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Need to get a veteran #2 starter next year, desperately. Can’t blame Herm Schneider anymore. Maybe the Nationals just knew a lot more about thei pitchers than we did? Will probably end up with Esteban Loiaza when he’s furloughed from prison...we’ll inevitably have to hear about the heartwarming human interest-related comeback story.

chitownsportsfan Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I always wonder what these guys are doing all winter if they get into camp and suddenly can't throw a baseball. Has to be considered that Dunning was hiding the extent of his discomfort last year and if the Sox were actively monitoring his activity and rehab this winter closely enough. Right now the data points just keep coming in that this org just isn't doing things the right way. And yes, we can use hindsight here. Why not? Looks like he should have had the surgery last fall. He'd already be throwing again like Kopech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many pitchers can rehab a partial tear of the UCL. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it worked in this case. The repeated issues this soon after beginning of Spring isn't a good sign.

I wouldnt totally disagree. The usual reason that a pitcher has a forearm strain is that there is something going on with the UCL. I would disagree that just because there is a forearm issue means they will eventually have surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems...dumb It's not Schneider and the training staff, although they will have input. If you are looking at preventing injuries it's more the strength and conditioning group. Although with UCL issues it's more the pitching coaches and pitch selection. Then research shows the two most significant factors are more than 45% fastballs and having their release point further away from the head.
