Jiro Matsuda Out for Season
<Cincinnati:team#37> starting pitcher <Jiro Matsuda:player#10392> could miss the remainder of the season because of shoulder inflammation. He exited yesterday's <Savannah:team#108> game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Matsuda would be out 4 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."

So far this season <Matsuda:player#10392> has 5 wins and 4 losses and a 5.11 ERA.
