York Revolution pitcher Corey Thurman is scheduled to undergo tests at York Hospital, according to several members of the Revolution coaching staff. Thurman has left the team, and he did not participate in batting practice Thursday.
Thurman experienced a dull ache and numbness in the palm and fingers of his pitching hand. It caused him to miss his scheduled start Tuesday. York manager Chris Hoiles said doctors originally believed the injury may have been similar in nature to carpal tunnel. But doctors want to perform tests to see if the pain is being caused by nerve, tendon or circulatory problems.
"They just don't know what it is at this point," Hoiles said.
Revolution Director of Baseball Operations Adam Gladstone did not expect to add a player to take Thurman's spot on the roster immediately. The Revs will use Daryl Harang in Thurman's slot in the starting rotation.
Get well soon Thurm! He is truely a class act on and off the field!
