The injury bug lurks and has taken down another promising arm for the Houston Astros. In relation to Justin Verlander and Forrest Whitley, Kent Emanuel is now the third 40-man roster pitcher to undergo Tommy John Surgery in the past year.
While making a big splash after being activated from the restricted list, Emanuel made his name known and broke down his anger behind his suspension. The left-hander will be out 12-14 months, as this is the average time of rehabilitation for his respected injury.
