Cubs Valdez Lost for Year Tuesday, July 26th , 2039 Iowa reliever Reggie Valdez could miss the remainder of the season because of a torn flexor tendon in his elbow. He exited yesterday's Nashville game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Valdez would be out 7 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer. "He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that." This year, Valdez has 8 relief appearances with no saves, 1-1 season record and a 6.89 ERA. He has hurled 15.2 innings, given up 23 hits, struck out 13 and walked 6. Opposing clubs have batted .343 against the Iowa reliever. |
