Rookie phenom Phil Hughes had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning last night against the Texas Rangers before a hamstring injury ended his night. This was only Hughes second start, but he looked like a seasoned vet in only his second career Major League start. The Yankees did go on to win the game 10-1, but learned they have lost Hughes for at least a month.
Hughes is the fifth Yankee starter to miss games already this year. Mike Mussina, Jeff Karstens and Carl Pavano are all currently on the disabled list and Chien-Ming Wang also missed the first three weeks of the season with a hamstring injury.
I know their bats are great, but I’m not sure even the Yankees and Joe Torre can survive these injuries.
Go Halos
This hurts so many fantasy teams, it’s not even funny…
Thank god they fired that trainer
