The hits just keep on coming. Shane Greene, who has dealt with ulnar neuritis and numbness in his hand throughout the season, was diagnosed with an aneurysm in his right hand that is related to a vascular problem in his right shoulder, head athletic trainer Kevin Rand told reporters on Sunday morning. Greene will see Dr. Greg Pearl, a vascular surgeon based in Dallas, Texas, this week to determine whether he needs surgery to correct the problem.
Greene has reported multiple bouts of numbness and coldness in his hand throughout the season, which may or may not have affected his performance on the mound.
