Matt Harrison is having a pretty cruddy 2011. First, he was savaged by kidney stones. Now, he’s experienced a bruised triceps. No, not a good start to 2011. He was pulled from his start against the Minnesota Twins after Danny Valencia nailed him with a line drive. As a true professional, Matt played the ball, but Danny was safe at first.
Michael Young, the Rangers first baseman, said of the play:
He apologized, said he couldn’t get it over there because his arm was numb. Pretty good reason. He battled. He was throwing the ball really well.
We’ve discussed torn triceps before, but never bruised triceps.
