Report: Gallardo has torn ACL, out for season

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that Yovani Gallardo has a torn ACL.

An examination of Gallardo in Milwaukee on Friday morning revealed the injury, which Gallardo suffered in a collision with Reed Johnson on Thursday. The team will wait until swelling subsides to determine if he needs surgery, but he'll likely miss the rest of the season. Dave Bush will be recalled and replace him in the rotation. May. 2 - 2:34 pm et

Youch. I'm not a Gallardo owner or a Brewers fan, but I liked watching that kid pitch. Hope he bounces back from this.

So that's why some guy was trying to trade him to me today.

That sucks. It was such a bizzare play. Too bad it cost him the season.

The Brewers are toast.

Outside of Sheets, those pitchers are mediocre to awful.

Yost will be fried in the papers and on the radio, and with good cause. He allowed him to pitch 2 more innings after that play.

He should be fired tomorrow.

 

[Clifton]

Well that sucks....

The Brewers seemed so deep at SP at the start of spring training. Now Gallardo and Capuano are out for the year and Vargas is in New York.

I dont mind him finishing out the 5th yesterday but he definitely should have been pulled before the 6th.From JSOnline:

Ash also said team physician William Raasch said no further damage was done to the knee when Gallardo stayed in the game Thursday in Chicago and pitched another inning. Gallardo injured the knee trying to avoid a collision with the Cubs' Reed Johnson at first base on a bunt play but shook it off and stayed in the game. "Dr. Raasch said there was no evidence of further trauma," said Ash. "I specifically asked Dr. Raasch that question. He was quite clear that he didn't believe it was an issue (that Gallardo pitched another inning). It wouldn't have changed anything in terms of what we know today."

Well, they did sign Jeff Weaver.

Same here. The kid has offered a number of ridiculous trades, but this one was actually decent. I was shocked at how fair the exchange would be. And then I checked the wire. Real POS move.

I tried to trade Magic the day he announced he had AIDS.
