Cincinnati Reds’ Bronson Arroyo unofficially calls it a career

For his last several starts the Cincinnati Reds’ training staff had been holding Arroyo’s arm together with cortisone and gumption. He had come back from Tommy John and known rotator cuff tears. It appears that those tears finally caught up with the two-time Red.

So two and a half years after undergoing UCL replacement and a matching shoulder surgery, Arroyo may finally need to hang up the cleats after rejoining the Reds on a minor league deal. The shoulder just may not have enough good tissue in the rotator cuff to make a difference.
