New York starting pitcher Joe Godfrey could miss the remainder of the season because of a torn flexor tendon in his elbow. He exited yesterday’s San Francisco game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Godfrey would be out 7 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer. “He’s done,” his manager commented at the BNN press conference. “It’s a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It’s not the worst-case scenario, so we’re happy about that.”
This year Godfrey has recorded a 2-4 mark. In 4 starts he has fanned 58 batters in 44.1 innings with a 4.87 ERA.
