Joel Zumaya Blows Out His Elbow Again, Lost For Season...

And his career may be over...

Detroit Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya is gone for the rest of the season with a fractured right elbow.

The team said Tuesday that he fractured his right olecranon, which is the bony tip of the elbow right under the skin.

Zumaya was literally shaking in pain after throwing a pitch that Delmon Young fouled off in the eighth inning of Detroit's 7-5 win over the Minnesota Twins.

He has missed large chunks of the last two seasons because of shoulder problems.

Here's the injury, while it lasts...
It's not pretty...
