Jeff Karstens a guy that looked to be one of the Pirates top of the rotation starters at the start of the season has injured himself once again. As most of you know by now Karstens hurt himself in the start of the year when he left a start early in Arizona. Karstens was officially put on the DL for right shoulder inflammation and missed a good amount of time without even throwing a baseball
Karstens had been making multiple starts in the minors trying to rehab and build his arm strength to the point to where he could make a quality start at the major league level. Unfortunately just when it looked like Karstens was just fine tuning he re-injured himself but this time in a different area.
Karstens was pulled from his start on Thursday in Triple-A Indianapolis with "tightness in his right groin". Karstens received an MRI on that particular area and even though we are not sure about the exact injury we know that it was an injury on his hip flexor.
Everyone hopes that Karstens will not miss to much time especially me, considering I am about the biggest hater of Kevin Correia that their is. I am not sure when Karstens will rehab again, but what I am sure of is that he will miss at least one more start.
