Rookie League News Article | |  | Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008: Major Injury Befalls Walden of Kinston The expression on his face said it all when starting pitcher Chris Walden was injured in a game against Rancho Cucamonga. You could tell that this was no minor injury. Walden was examined quickly by the team doctor and immediately rushed to the local hospital. After several tests, the diagnosis was a torn labrum, and in this case, it means his career is over.
The Kinston Indians issued the following statement:
"It is with great sadness to see Chris leave the game so soon. He was a great competitor and teammate and we are sure he will stick around in some capacity with our team."
This year Walden has compiled a 1-2 mark with a 5.51 ERA in 6 starts. | |
