Carson Smith hurt his arm throwing his glove in the dugout after he left the game yesterday. "It's unfortunate," Dave Dombrowski said. No timetable. Went for testing today, MRI, needs a second opinion: "It's got the potential of being a major injury."

Dombrowski said the bullpen is not an area of concern.

As you’d expect, Carson Smith was shaken up. Spoke to reporters for about four minutes, was contrite. Appeared emotional. He’s been through a lot for a pitcher. Came back from Tommy John, but shoulders are scarier, as he pointed out.

Carson Smith called it a freak accident: “I think fatigue played a factor in my shoulder and my shoulder just couldn’t handle it.”

“I think my shoulder’s tired in general, it’s just from pitching. I’ve thrown a lot lately and I think my arm was just tired"

“You don’t know if it was the time or the one specific motion that I did”

Smith said he’s never had it happen before. But he does throw his glove every day while warming up
