In late August, Shane Greene had season-ending surgery on his shoulder. According to his Twitter account, the problem in his shoulder was caused by an anuerism that created numbness in his middle finger. While this was bad news for the young pitcher and for the Detroit Tigers who acquired him in 2015 to fill a spot in the rotation, the good news is that he is back on the mound and throwing. As long as his off-season conditioning goes well, the Tigers will get to see him again in Lakeland in February when pitchers report for the 2016 season.
