ICYMI: Luke Weaver diagnosed with forearm strain, will seek second opinion

[Ronin]

Diamondbacks right-hander Luke Weaver has been diagnosed with a forearm strain, manager Torey Lovullo tells reporters including Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic (Twitter links). He’s set to receive a second medical opinion.

Lovullo says the organization is “very hopeful” that surgery will not ultimately be necessary. That statement could be read as an optimistic stance on the matter. But it’s obviously concerning that the injury is bad enough that surgery is being weighed on the spectrum of possibilities.

At this time, then, the outlook remains unclear. It’s unfortunate to see this malady crop up for the 25-year-old, who had been on an excellent run in Arizona since coming over in one of the most consequential trades in the organization’s history.

I believe this was the initial diagnosis for Taijuan Walker last year...

Yeah I dont see this ending well. Too bad, he was really looking good.

ARZ can’t catch a break with young starting pitching.

They either get rid of them too soon (Scherzer / Bauer) or acquire them and they get hurt (Hudson / Walker / Weaver possibly).
