Dickey reveals he's been pitching hurt since April
Knuckler to have surgery on torn abdominal muscle; Mets fall to Fish
By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com | 10/3/2012 12:00 AM ET
That season, one of the best in franchise history, is now complete with a
20-6 record, a 2.73 ERA and 230 strikeouts. But it teetered in constant
danger of derailment, as Dickey continued to pitch through injury.
Relying on the team's medical staff to dull his stomach pain, which was
rarely severe, Dickey took the mound every fifth game; at one point this
summer, he even considered pitching every fourth. It was not an entirely
unusual situation for the knuckleballer, who played the final five months of
last season with a torn plantar fascia, later revealing in his autobiography
that he received a painkilling injection before every start.
Dickey will undergo surgery in Philadelphia on Oct. 18, and expects to have
no trouble readying himself for the start of Spring Training. But the injury
does underscore the fact that, at 37 years old, he is not the invulnerable
rubber-armed pitcher of knuckleball lore; Dickey is as susceptible to the
same aches and pains as anyone else.
簡單來說Dickey在4月就覺得腹部不舒服 但是繼續上場投球
現在球季已經到尾聲 10/18要到費城開刀
他的傷是腹部肌肉撕裂(torn abdominal muscle) 算是小手術
春訓前就可以回到球場上 不影響明年出賽
