McPherson Sidelined for 10 Months
<Chris McPherson:player#5063> at first refused to leave today's <Sarasota:team#68>-<Pensacola:team#72> game after he suffered a ruptured ulnar collateral ligament while throwing a pitch. But his manager convinced him not to be foolish. "I want to be on the field," the feisty <Pensacola:team#72> starting pitcher said. "I'll play through just about anything." Given time to reflect on the situation, he knew it was in his best interest to get immediate treatment. The injury is expected to keep McPherson out of action for 10 months.

This year <McPherson:player#5063> has made 18 starts, thrown 73.1 innings, fanned 63 batters and walked 49. His won-lost record is 1-8 with a 7.98 ERA.
