Over again before it started for McGowan
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Injuries, MLB,
Dustin McGowan, the injury-prone permanent resident on the DL for the Toronto Blue Jays has seen another setback. After going down with shoulder labrum surgery in July of 2008, McGowan attempted a comeback but had to cut that short after knee surgery in 2009. Before this season began, all signs were optimistic for the right-hander, but he was shut down in March with a “dead arm”, and an MRI earlier this week put the nail in the coffin for this season.

Sizemore’s bum knee is Cleveland’s bum year
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Injuries, MLB,
Who said the Cleveland Indians need Grady Sizemore? After learning that he’ll miss the remainder of the 2010 season, Cleveland annihilated the White Sox 10-1 on Friday night. That’s the good news. The bad news is that Sizemore is gone. As a fan favorite, three-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove winner, and one-time Silver Slugger, losing Sizemore adds injury to insult, and you have to wonder how much more insult Indians fans are willing to take.

Cleveland Indians OF Grady Sizemore out for the season
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Injuries, MLB, News,
Man, things are just not good in Cleveland sports these days. First, there is a constant threat of arguably the best Cleveland athlete since Jim Brown leaving, which of course is LeBron James. Next Cleveland Cavaliers GM Danny Ferry resigns from his post. And now the best player on the Cleveland Indians, Grady Sizemore will miss the rest of the MLB due to microsurgery on his knee. Sizemore has not been healthy in recent seasons and wanted to avoid any potential possibility of missing significant time by having this surgery now, as his goal is to play at least ten more seasons. The surgery should help him achieve that, but then again, there are no guarantees. And, again, this is Cleveland sports we’re talking about. Don’t hold your breath.

Veteran Athletic Eric Chavez’s days may be numbered. The 32-year old third baseman suffered a neck injury and has landed on the disabled list - again - and although he claims he’s not thinking about retiring, he has admitted that this could be it. Chavez has said he’s had neck problems since colliding with minor-league infielder Adrian Cardenas during spring training. Chavez tried to play through it, but the soreness of two bulging discs has caught up with him.

Lowell’s latest injury just a minor setback
Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Injuries, MLB,
Everything was going fine for Red Sox three-bagger Mike Lowell, but then in a game against Toronto on Friday afternoon, he fouled a pitch off his left knee in his first at bat and was helped off the field with a contusion. X-rays were negative, but for Lowell, who has seen limited playing time, this will only set back his preparation further as he battles for a roster spot. This injury may have to see him put on the disabled list to start the season in order to get more practice in.

Pedroia had x-rays on Wednesday morning and is already asking coach Terry Francona to get him back in the lineup for Thursday’s game against Florida.

Ben Sheets was hit hard again. In his third Spring Training game with Oakland on Monday, he gave up 10 runs without recording an out against the Reds. Yet he and the Athletics claim that, runs aside, it was a good outing. Sheets is recovering from elbow surgery and is trying to return to the form he showed with the Brewers two years ago. Spring starts are the latest step in his return to the mound, and is still projected to start for Oakland on Opening Day.

Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Editorial, Injuries, NHL,

Everybody seems to have an opinion, one of which being that offending players should be suspended until the injured player returns.

Posted by Adrien Griffin Categories: Athletes, Front Office, Injuries, NHL,
They’re talking about it again. Coming off the heels of Matt Cooke’s concussion-inducing headshot to Boston’s Marc Savard.

As for Cooke, based on recent suspensions, he may be back with Pittsburgh before the playoffs. Since the Penguins don’t play again until Thursday night, director of hockey operations Colin Campbell is taking his time deciding Cooke’s punishment.
