Washington Nationals pitcher Bronson Arroyo has been diagnosed with an 80 percent tear of the labrum in his right shoulder.
This might be a career-ender for the 39-year-old right-hander. Arroyo signed a minor league contract with the Nationals in late January and was hoping to complete a successful comeback this year from his 2014 Tommy John surgery. He figures to undergo surgery to repair the labrum tear within the next couple of days.
He owns a career 4.37 xFIP. Over a full season, he has posted a sub-4.00 xFIP just once in his career (2013). Eating innings and limiting walks is just about all Arroyo offers.
