Is there some reason he didn't pitch in the Texas series? Did I miss something? I'm not above missing something Ha!

I think JE said he had arm soreness. It seemed significant. He did say postgame Landon will have a long MLB career someday and we weren't going to do something to jeopardize his health. I feel like he will sit out as long as he the soreness continues. I think the doctors were going to evaluate him today and make sure there's nothing "structural" (i.e. UCL etc) going on. Not massively unusual for pitchers to experience soreness.... just depends on what the source of soreness is.

General soreness in arm is what they said. Hopefully he is ready for Oklahoma on Saturday I'm guessing it also depends on how we do Thursday and Friday.

Yep. “…is what they said.”

I am guessing here, but it may be something as simple as sleeping on it the wrong way. I’m hoping it is. It’s a lot more complicated issue than it may appear at first glance. Protect them arms!

McKee reported on 247 yesterday that Mack’s MRI was clean so that’s a good thing long term , I guess E will hopefully have an update tomorrow

great to hear! I just heard that on his podcast last night. UT fans are lucky to have such great coverage of the BaseVols!

If it’s a muscle issue in his forearm, he likely won’t be pitching again this season. I hope it’s nothing serious but I will be pleasantly surprised if we see him on the mound until next season.

Why would this be the case? If it was a tendon or ligament issue, sure. Sore muscle? Why would that be season ending?

Muscle in forearm pain tends be a precursor to UCL issues. Usually lots of rest is recommended.

I had not heard a diagnosis that was specific to the forearm. Dead arm is a common syndrome with many causes. I tend to agree that as a fanbase we should lean toward the longer recovery time.

MRIs are highly effective at detecting UCL issues. Even inflammation that hasn’t developed into a more serious issue.

He’s had an MRI and no Issues detected. We don’t know where the soreness is rooted. It’s highly speculative and no evidence to support this conclusion.

Nothing concrete being reported other than MRI came back clear according to Ben McKee. That’s why I bolded IF in my original response but I should have reiterated that in my follow up response to avoid confusion. I sincerely hope it’s nothing serious.
