Mike Adams throws one of his final pitches for the Phillies this season.
So, remember yesterday when I looked at the disasterous nature of a torn labrum? Well, add to that a torn rotator cuff, too, three total tears in all. That likely means that Adams' season is most definitely over no matter what course of action there is, whether it be rest or surgery.
Adams reported to CSNPhilly's Jim Salisbury the results of his doctor's visit:
“Not good,” he said after having his right shoulder examined in Los Angeles on Tuesday. “I’ve got some tears in there — rotator cuff and labrum.”
Adams said a course of remedy has not yet been established. He could have surgery or opt for a strength and rehab program that would require up to 12 weeks. Either way, he figures his season is over.
“This season doesn't look good — highly unlikely,” he said. “This year almost probably a no.”
Next season may not look so good either. Ouch.
