Sean Manaea may be out for the season with a shoulder injury:
A’s left-hander Sean Manaea has been shut down indefinitely with tendinitis in his left rotator cuff, and while the club is hopeful he will pitch again this year, there remains a chance that his season is over.
When I was young, torn rotator cuffs were rather prevalent among pitchers, and not many came back strong from the injury. Better training of the muscles that make up the cuff greatly reduced the catastrophic version of the injury.
Manaea was the Oakland workhorse, the only pitcher who started for them and broke the 100 inning barrier so far. The A’s really cobbled together a rotation this season, making their run at a wild card all the more impressive. Manaea is just 1 1/3 innings away from becoming an ERA qualifier.
