Bud Selig is personally concerned about the recent run of Tommy John surgeries and other injuries suffered by  pitchers.

"I'm almost afraid to pick up the paper because of the bad news," Selig said. "I'm very worried over the fact that it's happening with so much regularity, over and over. We have some great young arms, and it's very sad. 

"Let's see if we can find out some answers. Nobody has them, I'll tell you that -- including the doctors and trainers. Everybody you talk to has a different opinion."

Major League Baseball continues to consult with doctors and athletic trainers in an effort to address the problem.
