Injury Setback for Calrissian Turner
Wednesday, October 11th , 2051
All is not well with Ralph Turner in his recovery from a torn flexor tendon in his elbow.
The 23-year-old Calrissian starting pitcher has already reached some significant steps in his rehabilitation, but his manager said that the team will continue to be cautious with Turner and take his progression one day at a time, especially after the setback yesterday.
"Yesterday he was feeling good but he didn't do a lot on the field," he said. "Today he was supposed to be on the field doing light stuff and then gradually start working right back up. I think he overdid it."
A post-workout examination revealed that Turner had re-injured himself and would now miss at least 14-15 months because of it.
Ralph Turner is expected to undergo surgery in Orlando(Florida) tomorrow.
