Nolasco Has Torn Meniscus In Knee
Jul 8, 2014 6:22 AM
Marlins pitcher Ricky Nolasco won't make his scheduled start Sunday because of a torn meniscus in his right knee.
Nolasco said the injury happened when he had just finished throwing a bullpen session in Pittsburgh and was sitting down pulling his knee toward him to change shoes before going running.
"I heard a pop which is normal that I get once every couple of weeks. The doc said I just got unlucky that somehow the bone caught a piece of my meniscus and put a slight tear in it, which is pretty much a freak accident," Nolasco said.
"I can't really believe this has happened to me. It's extremely frustrating. But obviously I have to be smart about it. There's not much I can do now."
Nolasco said he most likely will need surgery.
