Toppi's Season Could be Over
<St. Cloud:team#48> starting pitcher <Ken Toppi:player#3163> could miss the remainder of the season because of a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament. He exited yesterday's <Grand Junction:team#45> game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Toppi would be out 14 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer. "He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that."

In 9 starts this season <Toppi:player#3163> has rung up a 2-5 record and a 4.91 ERA.
