Kenta Maeda Being Shut Down 3-7 Days
2 years agoMinnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (triceps) is dealing with a right-triceps strain and will be shut down for three to seven days until his symptoms resolve. "There's nothing that we've found that has any issues to do with his previous Tommy John ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction surgery. So we treat it just like a muscle strain," head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta said. The 35-year-old right-hander exited his start early against the Yankees on Wednesday after getting roughed up and also injured. Maeda will go on the injured list and will miss some time, but it could have been worse. He has a rough 9.00 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in his first four starts and has probably been dropped in a lot of fantasy leagues. Bailey Ober will take Maeda's rotation spot for now.
