Mike Hampton

4 innings and 56 pitches.....did he get hurt again?

Not sure, I hope not. I know he was on a pitch count. Not sure what the count was set to. They werent going to have him go a whole game in the first place.

Anyone know if it was a pitch count or a re-injury? Either way he did pretty good for coming back off the DL.

this is wat i found

Mike Hampton threw four scoreless innings against the Nationals tonight in a return from tightness in his forearm.
Hampton gave up five hits, walked two, and struck out one. The Braves apparently wanted to play it safe with Hampton, as he threw only 58 pitches even though he was not lifted due to injury. Baring a negative report on the forearm during the week, you’ll want him active versus the Pirates next start.

ESPN posted this yesterday:

NEWS: June 1
STATUS: Day-to-day
SKINNY: Hampton, who left his last start after four innings due to tightness in his pitching arm, feels he can make his next scheduled start, but the Braves say they will know more after a throwing session on Thursday, the team's official web site reports.

ROTOWIRE SPIN: Hampton said he may have been able to pitch through the problem in his last start, so perhaps this isn't too serious. Still any setback could land him back on the DL.

Crap

ESPN (again):

NEWS: June 4
STATUS: 15-day Dl
SKINNY: Hampton returned to the 15-day disabled list Saturday with tightness in his left forearm, five days after he lasted only four innings in his first start since missing more than two weeks with the same problem, the Associated Press reports.

ROTOWIRE SPIN: Making matters worse is that Hampton, who's been pitching great when he's not hurt, will miss a start Sunday against the Pirates. "Yesterday he threw great, but it hurts on every pitch he threw," manager Bobby Cox said Saturday. Not a good sign, and when asked how long he expects Hampton to be out, Cox said, "Two weeks for sure."

My sentiments exactly. I dont know how much longer Young and Capuano will be able to platoon his spot on my team for me while hes gone.

Next Week:

Young @ Philly
Capuano @ Home vs Yankees

I was really banking on behing able to go with

Hampton @ Home vs Oakland....


Gonna be a rough week.

Not good:

Jun 7 Updating previous items, Paul Newberry, of the Associated Press, reports Atlanta Braves SP Mike Hampton (forearm) is due to visit Dr. James Andrews in Alabama after an MRI exam taken on his sore left forearm indicated a previous, undiagnosed injury.

Any new news out there?

Rotowire:

Jun 22 Hampton's injured forearm has not shown any improvement after the prescribed two weeks of rest and there is no timetable for his return. "I don't think it's something minor," Hampton told the team's official web site. "I'm frustrated. All I can do is hang out, do what they tell me to do and have them pay me not to play."

Recommendation: He may begin light throwing this week, but it sounds like it will be several more weeks before he's able to return, if not longer.

I am dropping him. That doesn't sound good.
