Yankees starter Phil Hughes has been sitting on the disabled list for a while with a dead arm, and recently he's been undergoing about a thousand million tests to try and uncover the reason behind his reduced velocity. On Monday he was sent to a specialist to determine whether he has thoracic outlet syndrome, which had recently popped up as a possibility. The answer? No, not so much. Writes Mark Feinsand:
Phil Hughes Tests Come Back Negative For Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Phil Hughes' tests came back negative for all circulatory and vascular issues. Back to the drawing board.
This is good news for the Yankees, because they can eliminate some major and scary possibilities. But this is bad news for the Yankees, because it means they still don’t know why Hughes isn’t throwing the way he used to.
Of course, in first place at 16-9, the Yankees aren’t exactly in a desperate position at the moment, although one wonders how long that rotation of theirs can possibly hold up.
