David Hernandez has a torn UCL

[Davis_Mike]

Diamondbacks reliever and may require Tommy John surgery, Hernandez's agent Jason Hoffman tells FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal (Twitter link). Hernandez is getting a second opinion but if the original diagnosis is confirmed, the right-hander will miss the entire 2014 season. Since coming to Arizona in December 2010 as part of the Mark Reynolds trade, Hernandez has posted a 3.42 ERA, 3.17 K/BB and 10.8 K/9, though he struggled a bit last season due to an inflated home run rate. Losing Hernandez would further hurt the Arizona pitching staff, which also lost Patrick Corbin to an UCL tear earlier this month.

WTF?! Well this clears up the BP.

This is not looking good on the Diamondbacks medical staff, all the way back to losing Brandon Webb. They have lost some of their best pitchers to career threatening injuries. Webb last pitched five years ago and then had to retire. Hudson had a torn ligament, got tommy john, then had the same thing happen. Then Matt Reynolds had a torn ligament. Then Patrick Corbin tore a ligament. Now David Hernandez tore his. And do not forget that Jarrod Parker tore his ligament when he was in the D'backs minor league system and his call-up was delayed a year because of it.

Webb, Parker, Hudson, Reynolds, Corbin, and David Hernandez. Five tommy john surgeries and one shoulder injury. What is going on with this team?

Back in the day, I was so jealous of the D-Backs that they had Brandon Webb. I thought he was going to be a great one.

Can't they use their mouths. Little known fact: UCL tears are commonly caused by locker room reach arounds. The more you know...
