Season Ends for Manuel Barrios of Idaho Falls
Thursday, May 14th, 1998
Idaho Falls reliever Manuel Barrios could miss the remainder of the season because of a torn ulnar collateral ligament. He exited yesterday's Spokane game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Barrios would be out 9-10 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."
Barrios has taken the mound for 15 relief appearances this season, nailing down no saves while notching a 0-2 record with a 1.86 ERA. The Idaho Falls reliever has limited opposing batters to a .232 batting average.
