Herrera’s Season Ends with UCL Tear

Rockies’ promising rookie Welinton Herrera’s season is over before it began after tearing his UCL — a devastating blow for the 22-year-old who pitched scoreless innings in his brief MLB debut. Originally listed for elbow inflammation, the MRI revealed the full extent of the injury, with no timeline yet for surgery or recovery. Herrera, who dominated in Triple-A with a 5.16 ERA and punchouts, is now on the 60-day IL. The Rockies shuffled their pitching staff, sending Zach Agnos down and calling up TJ Shook, who’s been closing games in Albuquerque. Fans will be watching closely to see how Herrera rebounds from this early setback. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
