NFT: Ivan Nova with partially torn UCL

Just saw it on CBS sports. Looks like Tommy John. Damn.
Yup

Just saw it. Tough break for the Yankees.
Tommy John is inevitable for Nova
the curse of JerseyJoe

just a few days ago was talking about how pitching wins championships and the pitching has been overwhelmingly positive for the Yanks and how special of a rotation the Yanks have.

On a positive note he did get banned which I somehow missed
urgghhh

I guess Nuno for now. Bad loss though, assuming Nova was great in the second half last year.
bah

This is what I had asked about the other game when he got shelled and what his velocity was at. He seemed to loose MPH and location, both red flags that this was coming.
That sucks

UCL tear... Brutal

three weeks into April and Nova and Matt Moore are down just in the ALE.

Bad break for the kid. He's a young guy and will almost certainly bounce back, but Nova looked like he was ready to take a step up last year.

Hopefully the second opinion finds a miracle.
That really sucks. Hope he comes back strong.

Now they need Pineda to continue stepping up and to stay healthy. Thankfully they have some depth and some young guys who can and should be able to step in and do a solid job.
I hope they are not

making Mitchell into a reliever.
Tough break, feel bad for the kid, but let's face facts  
Stan from LA : 4/20/2014 11:46 am : link
On this team, this year, he was a #5. Should not be too hard to replace a #5 starter.
Sucks

He got injured but Nova has been terrible so far this year.

Good pitcher.
Wish him well.
He has been hot and cold.

But, here's a question: Does anyone know for sure that the ligament wasn't beginning to fray earlier in the season, as opposed to just popping yesterday? There have been games where his velocity was down, and games where his curve hasn't been biting.

Connective tissue can wear over time, rather than all at once. Could it be that his ligament was beginning to show damage earlier? I'm guessing it was. Even Saturday, he wasn't owning up to the injury until McCann notified the coaching staff--pretty common MLB behavior.
