Didn't he get shut down for the same thing last year?

It was already torn. Maybe they want to see if they can make it heal like Ervin Santana.

Worked for Tanaka.

Of course Tanaka doesn't throw 101.

The Mariners announced Friday that they’ve placed right-handers Juan Nicasio and Dan Altavilla on the disabled list.... Nicasio is dealing with right knee effusion, while Altavilla’s injury is more troubling: a sprained right ulnar collateral ligament.

Not surprised at all with Ohtani. Throws 100mph and has a full inverted L at footstrike. Personally, I don't think he'll last long as a pitcher especially throwing that hard. Not surprised with Harvey either nor is "instability" a very good word to use. Sounds like big trouble to me. Haven't seen much of the other guys, but looking at Santana's delivery there, pretty obvious where the problems are.

Arm injuries will continue to increase as proper mechanics are sacrificed for velocity by "stretching the rubber bands" as VATech put it. It is the biggest reason for the likely continued increase in pitching arm injuries. Increased velocity is killing the arms. Even the strongest rubber bands wear out and break eventually if abused like this for long enough. Since I doubt any of this will change, perhaps maintenance PRP injections (HGH would be better) in pitching elbows/shoulders first thing in the offseason could help keep the rubber bands healthy. Doing nothing will change nothing.

Stephen Strasburg exited his start Friday with an apparent injury after allowing three runs in two innings against the Giants. The right-hander threw 35 pitches.

Masahiro Tanaka's evening came to an abrupt ending in the sixth inning on Friday at Citi Field, as the right-hander was removed from the Subway Series opener with stiff hamstrings shortly after scoring the tying run on an Aaron Judge sacrifice fly. He will be re-evaluated on Saturday.

Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka left his start against the Mets on Friday after five innings because of stiffness in both hamstrings. He’ll undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the severity of the issue, though odds are he’ll require a stint on the disabled list, Randy Miller of NJ.com suggests. Tanaka suffered the injury on the bases, thus cutting short a performance in which he allowed one run on one hit and a walk and struck out eight.
