SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Tyson Ross knew there was something wrong. But five months had passed, and he still didn’t know what the problem was.
Ross, who had signed a one-year contract in Detroit before last season, was making what would be his seventh and final start for the Tigers in 2019. He had given up five runs and recorded just four outs in his previous outing, and followed that up with six runs over five innings against the Twins in this early May start.

The problem? He couldn’t feel his right hand.
“It was like pitching with an arm that’s asleep,” Ross recounted inside the Giants clubhouse this February.
