Per Rotoworld:
Masahiro Tanaka has been diagnosed with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament.
Oh boy. The Yankees are saying that the tear is small and Tanaka could return after six weeks following a platelet-rich plasma injection. The club noted that the right-hander has seen three doctors and none of them have recommended surgery at this point. However, general manager Brian Cashman also isn't ruling out an operation eventually being required. Tanaka is in the first year of a seven-year, $155 million contract.
Sounds like Tommy John is in the future. You'd think they would at least do it now and start the rehab instead of wait 2 months to do it but I guess he wouldn't pitch in 2015 either way.
I ended up not doing the Scherzer for Tanaka deal and still have Scherzer on the table for the contenders.
