Parnell On The Shelf
Meet the new season. Same as the old season.
Bobby Parnell had an MRI after complaining of tightness in his forearm after yesterday’s game. The MRI revealed a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right arm. This is the same type of injury that lead to Tommy John surgery for Matt Harvey. Parnell will rest for 2 weeks before being re-evaluated but it’s certainly possible he will suffer the same fate as Harvey.
The fact that he is injured should come as no surprise to anyone who has been watching him the last couple of weeks. His velocity is down and he’s been inconsistent. One must question why the Mets didn’t do a more thorough examination during spring training. I used to blame injuries like this on the Omar Minaya regime but so many years later that’s no longer a viable excuse.
