Reliever Joel Zumaya is injured yet again. This time, however, the injury is not serious. Zumaya is day-to-day after scar tissue broke apart around his elbow.
"Zoom-Zoom" said the injury occurred in the middle of his inning of work against the Blue Jays on Sunday. He felt the tissue snap on a pitch, reported Jason Beck, the Tiger's blogger for MLB Network.
Zumaya said, "Just a little scar tissue. They're just going to give me a couple days." The bullpen pitcher has been on the disabled list in each of the last four seasons and this injury will not be taken lightly by Manager Jim Leyland. The skipper's attitude shows his lack of confidence in Zumaya.
"I don't think this is uncommon," Leyland said, "but who knows?"
With any luck, Zumaya will be healthy this entire season.Photo by Matt Harding / In Play! Magazine
