Michael Broadway is back in the bigs after Affeldt reinjured his wonky knee in a very, very Affeldt kind of way.
The story is that Jeremy Affeldt is on the disabled list with a subluxation of his left patella, which is part of the pulleys and strings inside the knee, and right-hander Michael Broadway was recalled from Sacramento to take his place.
The lede is that, dang it, Jeremy Affeldt, stop getting hurt in weird ways. This makes at least three times now.
- 2011 - out for season (separating frozen hamburger patties with a knife)
- 2012 - 15-day DL (playing with kids)
- 2015 - 15-day DL (playing with kids)
Affeldt later clarified that the sneezing fit wasn't true, but that he strained his oblique pitching the night before.
