Bryce Rainer Injured

[Peter Welch]

Last year's #1 pick SS Bryce Rainer suffered a bad arm injury tonight for Lakeland.  He got hurt diving back to 1st base on a pickoff attempt.  He was writhing in pain on the ground holding his arm.  Maybe a separated shoulder or elbow?  I remember a similar thing happened to Colt Keith in the minors where he badly hurt his shoulder diving back to 1^st base.  Keith's throwing arm hasn't been the same since then (he was playing 3B regularly back then).

Rainer underwent surgery on his injured right shoulder and will be out for the season.

i thought Colt Keith had shoulder surgery as well when he had a similar injury as Rainer's but Keith did not have surgery.

Keith suffered a torn labrum diving back to 1B on a pickoff attempt, but rehabbed it through physical therapy and had no surgery.

Damn.  Poor kid.

And I guess no trading for Skenes now.

I hope Rainer's throwing arm isn't permanently weakened after the surgery.  He'll be much more valuable if he can stay at SS.

We don't need yet another 2B prospect.
