Madison Bumgarner has had 6 straight seasons with 30 starts and 200 IP, the 2nd-longest active streak in baseball (Cole Hamels - 7).
Since he was called up to the major leagues for good on June 26, 2010, no pitcher has made more starts, pitched more innings or recorded more outs than Madison Bumgarner. And only 3 pitchers have thrown more pitches.
The problem is that limited pitch counts have not reduced injury in any way.Originally Posted by Otters27
Star Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera left tonight’s game with a groin strain, as Evan Woodberry of MLive.com reports on Twitter. For now, there’s no real indication of the severity of the injury; Detroit will take a closer look tomorrow.
Here’s more on the injury front:
- Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca provides an update on some injured Blue Jays hurlers. While there had been some hope that J.A. Happ would be able to return after missing just one start, he was still feeling elbow discomfort when he played catch yesterday. There is still hope, though, that Aaron Sanchez will be ready to return from his blister issues to re-take his turn in the rotation.
- The Rockies have received promising updates on the injury front, as Nick Groke of the Denver Post reports. Ian Desmond’s hand has healed to the point that he was able to hit off of a tee. He’ll soon be followed by David Dahl, whose latest medical check-brought positive news.
- Likewise, the Orioles have reason to hope they’ll welcome back closer Zach Britton in short order. As Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com tweets, manager Buck Showalter says that Britton’s MRI results were very promising. Britton, who hasn’t been quite his dominant self thus far in 2017, hit the DL with forearm soreness.
- Rangers righty A.J. Griffin is heading to the 10-day DL with what the team is describing as ankle inflammation caused by gout. It doesn’t seem likely to require an extended absence, but the issue arises at an unfortunate time for the 29-year-old (and the struggling ballclub). Griffin is off to a solid start, having allowed seven earned runs on nine hits — and an excellent 16:4 K/BB ratio — over 15 1/3 innings.
- There were a few updates from the Reds, as provided by Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer (Twitter links). Righty Homer Bailey could be ready for mound work as soon as the end of the month, per skipper Bryan Price. Bailey has made just eight starts since the start of the 2015 season; he’s working back from surgery to remove bone spurs. Southpaw reliever Tony Cingrani, meanwhile, was placed on the 10-day DL with an oblique strain, with outfielder Phil Ervin taking his place on the active roster.
- Alex Meyer made a start tonight for the Angels, taking the roster spot of reliever Mike Morin, who is headed to the DL with neck stiffness, as Maria Guardado of MLB.com tweets. Morin, who’ll soon turn 26, has been hit hard in his 6 2/3 frames to open the season.
- Meanwhile, Angels righty Garrett Richards is said to be making some progress but isn’t yet able to begin throwing, Guardado tweets. Continued biceps weakness is still the culprit. The Halos are understandably taking care to ensure that Richards is at full health before pushing him forward.
- Rays lefty Xavier Cedeno is experiencing forearm tightness will require at least a brief DL placement, as Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. It’s not seen as a significant injury, but the loss of Cedeno does leave Tampa Bay without a southpaw in the pen. The 30-year-old has not looked sharp early; as Topkin notes, he has struggled to prevent inherited runners to score. And Cedeno has surrendered four walks without recording a single strikeout in his seven appearances.
- Dodgers lefty Scott Kazmir is still dealing with hip tightness that is preventing him from progressing back to the hill, as Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports on Twitter. The veteran southpaw is not yet nearing a rehab stint, per the report.
- The Brewers will welcome back righty Matt Garza from the DL to make a start on Monday, per a team announcement. Garza was not ready to open the year due to a groin strain. He’ll bump southpaw Tommy Milone to the bullpen.
well we can't really be sure.
without limited pitch counts, maybe there would be double the injuries
just because it appears there are just as many injuries today as the past. we can't link that to the one variable of pitch counts.
it could be that the development of MLB pitchers in their youth, adolescence, teen years ect might be what leads pitchers to eventually get hurt when they hit college, minors, MLB
many have pointed to specialization, lack of well roundedness and playing nearly year round for a lot of young phenoms.
another thing is that we just notice more when a pitcher gets surgery. because they actually do surgery more.
back in the day, alot of guys got hurt, but it was never diagnosed, they tried to play through it and sucked and then just got released and retired.
think of a guy like Mark the bird Fydrich... he had one amazing year and then wrecked his arm working around a knee injury.
he ended up just sucking and never was good again and retired prematurely..... almost a decade later they realized with the modernization of medicine that he had torn his rotator cuff. But back then they didn't do anything for that shit...
rooting for this guy to have a big year and he is well on his way..
Jose Bautista hits his 1st HR of the season in the 13th inning last night in the 8-7 win for Toronto. Some more bad news for the Jays though as Troy Tulowitzki leaves the game in the 8th inning with a hamstring issue.
April continues to be a nightmare for the 4-12 Blue Jays, who have lost another regular to the disabled list. Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will miss at least 10 days on account of a strained right hamstring, per the Associated Press. Tulowitzki joins third baseman Josh Donaldson, right-hander Aaron Sanchez and left-hander J.A. Happ on the shelf.
Injuries have long been an issue for Tulowitzki, who missed between 31 and 115 games in each of the previous six seasons. Tulowitzki used to make up for lost time with elite-level production as a Rockie, but his offensive performance has dropped off since he joined the Blue Jays via trade in 2015. The 32-year-old has batted a roughly league-average .251/.316/.424 in 788 plate appearances with the Jays, including a .263/.295/.386 line in 61 PAs this season, after slashing a Coors Field-inflated .299/.371/.513 in 4,415 trips to the plate with the Rockies. Tulowitzki has continued to serve as an above-average fielder, though, having tallied 16 Defensive Runs Saved and an 8.8 Ultimate Zone Rating since 2015.
The Tulowitzki-less Jays will go forth with Ryan Goins and Darwin Barney as their most experienced shortstop options. For now, they’ll use Tulowitzki’s roster spot on reliever Leonel Campos, whom they recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. They announced a couple other changes to their pitching staff, too, sending Danny Barnes to Buffalo and calling up Casey Lawrence.
sheesh oh man, things can't get better for these guys
The Dodgers were manhandled by the Diamondbacks for the second time in two nights. The 11-5 loss came a day after a 13-5 drubbing. Taking it on the chin Saturday was Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda, who gave up four home runs, two more than he had ever given up in a major league game. Maeda's ERA is now a whopping 8.05. David Peralta had a Diamondbacks' record four doubles.
The OVER is now 8-1 in all Arizona home games this season with an average combined score of 12.33 runs per game. However, that should normalize soon as the roof has been open for every home game so far, and it will be closed for the first time this year today (Sunday).
nice to see whenever the Doyers get bitch slapped...
Thats some good info LT
2017 looks like a write off for them. Tough decisions to make for the front office on whether to rebuild or retool with this old roster.
They are building a humidor as well.
They're in quite a hole already. Might be too deep to get out of if they don't turn it around soon.
The Diamondbacks could be in for bad news regarding right-hander Shelby Miller, who, as Barry M. Bloom of MLB.com tweets, exited his start Sunday with forearm tightness. Arizona is scheduling an MRI for Miller, who lasted four-plus innings and allowed three earned runs in a loss to the Dodgers. Manager Torey Lovullo is trying to be optimistic, notes Bloom, but Steve Gilbert of MLB.com observes (on Twitter) that the situation is “not good.” Forearm tightness often portends Tommy John surgery, which would be the biggest setback yet in Miller’s rocky tenure with the Diamondbacks. The club’s previous regime drew seemingly endless criticism for sending a Dansby Swanson– and Ender Inciarte-led package to the Braves for Miller two winters ago. General manager Dave Stewart and senior vice president of baseball operations De Jon Watson lost their jobs last fall after Miller struggled through a 2016 to forget, pitching to a 6.15 ERA in 101 major league innings and enduring a demotion to the minor leagues. Thanks in part to improved velocity, though, Miller has fared respectably this year with a 4.09 ERA and 3.29 FIP in 22 frames.
More from the National League:
- With an .095/.186/.127 batting line in 70 plate appearances, Mets infielder Jose Reyes has been among the majors’ worst players this year. Nevertheless, the Mets aren’t considering releasing the 33-year-old, according to Newsday’s Marc Carig, who casts doubt on the possibility of the team cutting him even if his performance doesn’t improve soon. Reyes makes a minimum salary and is a speedy switch-hitter who can play shortstop, all of which are facts that work in his favor, Carig writes. While the Mets have an elite shortstop prospect in Amed Rosario, who has slashed .355/.382/.353 in 55 PAs this season, a promotion for him isn’t imminent, sources told Carig. The Mets don’t want to rush either the 21-year-old Rosario or first base prospect Dominic Smith (also 21) to the majors.
- Phillies left fielder Howie Kendrick’s previously reported abdominal strain is actually an oblique strain, one that’s likely to keep him out until “sometime in the early to mid part of May,” GM Matt Klentak informed Ryan Lawrence of PhillyVoice. With Kendrick unavailable for a while, Klentak acquired infielder/outfielder Ty Kelly from the Blue Jays on Saturday. It turns out the Klentak-led Phillies had Kelly on their radar in the past. “Kelly is a guy who was on waivers twice in the last few months, and both times that he was passing through waivers we were intrigued by him and would have liked to have placed a claim but our roster was in a position where he couldn’t do it,” Klentak said. “But now with the ability to transfer (Clay) Buchholz to the (60-day DL) and free up a spot, we were able to acquire him.” Aaron Altherr, not Kelly, will see the majority of time in left while Kendrick’s out, Lawrence notes.
- The Nationals will place righty Stephen Strasburg on the paternity leave list Monday, meaning he’ll miss his scheduled start Tuesday in Colorado, reports Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com. Washington is likely to recall Jacob Turner to fill Strasburg’s void for a start, while the latter will return in time to take the mound either Friday or Saturday.
Right on cue, first game with roof closed in Arizona stays UNDER. Roof is scheduled to be OPEN for all three games of San Diego series, so players from both offenses may get fantasy boost.
time for a rebuild..get value for the aging players while you can..
gotta give it another two months prob anyways. not going to get as much value, selling off this far before the trade deadline
Yeah, they sold over 2.5M tickets before the season even started. Selling early wouldn't sit well with the rebuilt fan base. I do think rebuilding is the way to go in the end though.

White Sox vs. Royals tonight.
Second worse scoring team vs. the worse scoring team in the league.
Total is 7.5
(you know what to do)
Jason Heyward just hit his 3rd home run of the season in his 18th game after taking 49 games last year to hit 3. That came on June 6. He's slugging .477 now; he never got above .400 last season.
Red Sox RHP Matt Barnes has been suspended 4 games and fined for throwing a fastball past the head of Manny Machado
I'd suspend him four more games for missing that asshole Machado.
Machado one of the biggest dirtbag in the game.
Think the Rockies Can keep up the pace. Would love to see them return to the playoffs
The Dodgers have placed center fielder Joc Pederson on the 10-day DL, per a club announcement. He’ll be replaced on the active roster by outfielder Brett Eibner.
Pederson, who just turned 25, has a groin injury. It doesn’t seem likely to keep him out for a lengthy stretch, but the Dodgers evidently felt it was worth getting out ahead of with a DL placement. He’ll look to pick up his hitting a bit upon his return, after posting a tepid .220/.322/.340 mark through his first 18 games of the season.
Notably, too, Los Angeles is set to bring up talented young starter Julio Urias for his 2017 debut, per J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group (Twitter link). The 20-year-old had opened the year at Triple-A as part of an effort to control his innings.
Urias has unsurprisingly dominated at the highest level of the minors, though he has also permitted nine walks in his 14 frames. Still, he has nothing left to prove there; the young southpaw already turned in 77 innings of 3.39 ERA ball in the majors last season.
It seems that Urias will take the ball Thursday, meaning that righty Kenta Maeda will be bumped from his next scheduled start. He’ll pitch Friday, per skipper Dave Roberts, as MLB.com’s Ken Gurnick tweets. The 29-year-old has been hit hard in the early going, with 24 hits and seven long balls recorded against him through 19 innings — though he has also maintained his excellent strikeout (9.0 K/9) and walk (2.4 BB/9) rates.
After this first outing, Urias could stay in the majors or head back to Albuquerque. How things shake out could also depend in part upon the status of Rich Hill, who is still on the DL with a troublesome blister.
yes, wait until trade deadline for desperate teams. They can get a really nice package for Donaldson.
Cubs hitters are getting hot
Great start for the Rockies .
Eric Thames with 10 HR's on the season. 7 of them have come off Reds pitchers.
3B Kyle Seager (hip) isn't in the Mariners lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers. Taylor Motter will start at third. SS Jean Segura returns after being sidelined the past two weeks with a strained right hamstring.
11 now, 8 in 6 games vs Reds pitching.
Class A Augusta left-hander Domenic Mazza pitched his way into the record books on Tuesday, tossing the first nine-inning perfect game in South Atlantic League history in a 9-0 win over Lexington.
Mazza needed just 85 pitches (60 strikes) to complete his masterpiece as he struck out nine and induced another eight outs on the ground. It marked the first win of the season for the 22-year-old southpaw, who did not throw more than 14 pitches in a single inning.
Mazza received some help from his defense along the way, as Giants' No. 6 prospect Sandro Fabian kept the perfect game alive with a diving catch for the second out of the eighth inning.
What's more, Mazza also overcame a lengthy delay during an eighth inning that saw three players ejected following a benches-clearing incident prompted by a Kelvin Beltre (Giants' No. 20) home run.
Mazza, a 22nd-round pick in the 2015 Draft out of UC Santa Barbara, had shown improvement in each of his three starts for Augusta before recording the first complete game of his career on Tuesday. He's allowed one earned run in 18 innings over his past three starts since being tagged for seven runs in just 2 2/3 frames in his season debut.
Mazza's perfect game was the second of the Minor League season and comes just four days after Reds' No. 10 prospect Tyler Mahle achieved the feat for Double-A Pensacola.
Slugfest in Colorado as Turner hits the cycle for Washington
Trea Turner and Wil Myers, both part of the December 2014 Padres, Nationals, Rays 3-way trade, have each hit for the cycle at Coors Field this season!
