mbn007 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 usually, tired arm, or "dead arm" is something that hits pitchers who are harder throwers than Rogers. In addition, it usually hits during the Summer months. I wonder if something bigger is happening here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Tigers' Rogers might have blood clot March 29, 2007 By JOHN LOWE FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER LAKELAND, Fla. — Tigers left-hander Kenny Rogers will miss at least one start in the regular season because of “a fatigued arm,” club president and general manager Dave Dombrowski said today. Dombrowski didn’t provide any other details on Rogers’ ailment. However, a person familiar with the situation said that a club official informed him that Rogers has a blood clot. It is not known if the blood clot is in Rogers’ arm or how serious it might be. Rogers left the team today to undergo tests by a specialist at an undisclosed location. He had been scheduled to start the second game of the regular season Wednesday against Toronto. Nate Robertson will now start that game. Right-hander Chad Durbin will come out of the bullpen to take Rogers’ place in the five-man rotation. Durbin will start the fifth game of the season April.7 in Kansas City. Left-hander Bobby Seay was recalled from the minors to take Durbin’s bullpen spot. Rogers was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to Sunday, the day after his most recent appearance. He’s eligible to come off the disabled list in time for his second scheduled start, but there’s no indication if he’ll be able to. As the club awaited word on the tests, Dombrowski said he didn’t know how long Rogers might be out. “I don’t think it is a long-term thing,” he added. Manager Jim Leyland, who knows injuries and ailments are inevitable, said, “You’ve got to move on. I’m more concerned that Kenny Rogers is OK. I’m not concerned about Kenny Rogers not being able to pitch the second game of the season.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Out till July is the word. Surgery to remove the clot. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6622870?MSNHPHMA Rogers has surgery, likely out until July Associated Press Posted: 2 minutes ago LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) - Kenny Rogers had surgery Friday to remove a blood clot from his left shoulder and repair arteries, and the Detroit Tigers pitcher likely will be sidelined for the first half of the season. The 42-year-old left-hander had the operation in Dallas. He is expected to start throwing in six-to-eight weeks, and Tigers president Dave Dombrowski said the earliest Rogers would return to the rotation is July. Detroit placed Rogers on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday. Chad Durbin, who made the team as a reliever, will move into the Tigers' rotation. Rogers is on the DL for the first time since 2001. Rogers has gone from a hard-throwing pitcher to a crafty one during a career that began in 1989 with the Texas Rangers and included stops with Oakland, Minnesota and both teams in New York. He went 17-8 with a 3.84 ERA last year during his first season with the Tigers, then gained notoriety during the postseason when he had a patch of dirt on his pitching hand. He won all three of his postseason starts and didn't allow a run in 23 innings. Rogers was 2-0 with a 2.05 ERA in five exhibition starts. With Rogers out of the rotation, Nate Robertson will pitch in place of Rogers on Wednesday in Detroit's second game. Jeremy Bonderman starts Monday's opener against Toronto. Justin Verlander goes to third in the rotation, followed by Mike Maroth and Durbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
