Season-Ending Injury for Joe Hooper
The doctors have spoken and <Joe Hooper:player#4254> of the <Carlsbad Bad Apples:team#42> didn't like what he heard. The 19-year-old reliever is almost certainly gone for the rest of the year and depending on his progress could miss some of next season as well. Hooper sustained his season-ending injury during the <Corpus Christi Hooks:team#47> game yesterday at Hooks Park. He had to leave the game because he hurt himself while throwing a pitch. Today the <Carlsbad:team#42> medical staff reported <Hooper:player#4254> had a torn labrum and would be absent from the lineup for at least 5 months.
