Joba Chamberlain, the young starting pitcher for the New York Yankees who has massive potential, is headed to see Dr. James Andrews following an MRI on his shoulder. Chamberlain left his last start after experiencing pain in his shoulder.
It’s never good news when pitchers go visit Dr. Andrews, who is an expert on shoulder injuries. If Chamberlain has a serious shoulder injury, he could be sidelined for quite a while. Even if the injury is relatively minor, there’s no doubt that the Yankees will be cautious with their young pitcher.
On the season, Chamberlain has been impressive in terms of making the transition from a reliever to a starting pitcher. He has a 2.63 ERA to go with a 4-3 record. His 103 strikeouts in less than 90 innings illustrate how dominant he can be on the mound.
In the next couple days, we should hear a Joba Chamberlain injury update. Stay tuned.
