Zumaya Suffers Serious Elbow Injury As Tigers Grab First From Twins
Joel Zumaya sat solemnly at his space in Detroit's clubhouse, glancing at his glove before setting it on the shelf inside his cubicle.
The Tigers hope their hard-throwing reliever will be able to pick it up again. Back in fearsome form following three consecutive injury-wrecked seasons, Zumaya is facing what likely will be his biggest challenge yet with a serious injury to his right elbow.
Zumaya's injury marred Detroit's move into first place, after the Tigers used four first-inning runs off Francisco Liriano to beat the Minnesota Twins 7-5 on Monday night.
