I don?t know enough about the different injuries and how they present, but I guess best case scenario is that he strained something in his forearm. I?m sure that nerve would cause issues with the forearm though.
He winced in the 4th late in the inning but threw a few more pitches to get out of the inning. He came out in the 5th and threw one warmup pitch and started shaking his arm. The shaking is never a good sign. That's something you see a lot with UCL injuries. I think the longer it takes for us to hear something the worse it is. If it's nothing major we should be hearing reports that he's o.k. and that it was just precautionary, etc. If this stays mum for a few days it's probably not going to be good.
