Well this is likely going to be the final twice weekly post for the injury news and analysis since the regular season will be wrapping up. I will definitely be posting important news throughout the post-season and off-season as it comes up regarding injuries. This year we have seen an increase in the number of injuries but it seems a lot worse based on who it effected. I’d like to thank…

Albert Pujols
Pujols is considering having Tommy John, but is going to wait to decide until after the post-season. While the rehab would only be about 6-8 months as a positional player that still put spring training and some of the season in jeopardy.

The aftermath of the Rich Harden deal has started. Harden made his Cubs debut today, and while he didn’t last deep into the game, he certainly made an impact. Harden lasted just 5.1 innings, but surrendered no runs and struck out 10. He didn’t factor into the decision because the bullpen blew the lead, but this start has got to get…

Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez left the game today with a quadricps injury. He said he felt it in his swing, and
