]]> Jason Isringhausen of the Tampa Bay Rays won’t throw another pitch in the 2009 baseball season. He’s been diagnosed with a torn ligament in his pitching elbow and will require season-ending Tommy John surgery. He’ll likely be out for about one year.

Although he’s 36 years old and won’t be able to play again until next season, there are no talks of Isringhausen hanging up his glove. This season, he had a 2.25 ERA in nine appearances.

Isringhausen’s career began in 1995 with the New York Mets. In his three year and a half years with the New York Mets, the right-hander was used mostly as a starter. He wasn’t moved to the bullpen until his days with the Oakland A’s. He then moved on to the St. Louis Cardinals after two and a half seasons in Oakland. While with the Cardinals, he spent most of his eight seasons in st. Louis as the team’s closer.

This was his first season with the Rays. His current contract paid him $750,000 this season.
