Arizona Diamondback pitcher Taijuan Walker's MRI on Tuesday showed damage to his ulnar collateral ligament, according to manager Torey Lovullo. He does not know if it is a tear and said the pitcher is seeking a second opinion. (Jack Magruder on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Damage to the UCL often leads to Tommy John surgery and an absence of more than a year, so that would be the worst case scenario for Walker. More will be known after he receives a second opinion and the results are revealed, but expect for Walker to be out for an extended period of time even if surgery is not needed.
