Luis Gil won't throw for six weeks. He'll be out for probably three months.

 He has a high lateral strain. 

See you in June?

This "lateral thing", do you guys remember hearing about this injuries say even 10-15 years ago? Or is this a case of MLB getting more "specific" when it comes to injuries (versus "shoulder injury", etc)? Or are these guys getting a little too bulked up and things just going "boink-pinnngg"? For all this talk about sports "medicine/science" players can't even stay healthy when they aren't really playing. Odd.

They think it sounds better because it’s his lat, not his rotator cuff. It’s like a realtor saying that dumpster out front is really “convenient trash pick up”. the “high lat” attaches right on the humerus just past the 4 rotator cuff muscles. Call it a made up realtor name for something, but it’s a shoulder injury for a pitcher…no pinchy bueno.

Kinda what I thought. I had rotator cuff surgery five years ago. Know what? I'll never throw over 100 now! In my mind I could have been a contenda.... ;)

He can hang with Tissue Mon Stanton and Broken Down DJ.

It seems we have found the perfect replacement for Severino. Too bad "Setback" doesn't work as Gil's first name.
