It looks like Joba Chamberlain won’t be making an early comeback from Tommy John surgery:
According to the YES Network, Chamberlain had surgery on right ankle Thursday night after injuring it while jumping on a trampoline with his son. The New York Daily News reports he was at a children’s recreation center and was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
…
When asked if the injury could be season-threatening or even career-threatening, Cashman told the Daily News, “I’m not in a position to say.” The newspaper described Cashman’s demeanor as “shaken.”
My best friend’s wife is an emergency room pediatrician, and whenever she sees a trampoline in someone’s yard she wants to tear it down.
Here is Cashmans entire quote
‘“I just couldn’t say,” Cashman said. “I’d like to say no. My heart and my gut tells me no, that that’s not the case.”
Sounds like a career threatening injury to me. Could be nerve damage and blood vessel damage as well.
Also, Joba is going to have to work at not packing on serious poundage given he won’t be able to put weight on the foot for a couple of months.
