Well, this is pretty much the book on Humberto Sanchez. The kid, who was the headliner in the Gary Sheffield trade, just can't stay healthy. Humberto had elbow ligament-replacement surgery Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season. As Mike A. points out, Sanchez is the fourth in a line of VERY talented Yankees arms to go down this season (Mark Melancon, Christian Garcia and JB Cox are the others).

Cashman said Dr. James Andrews operated Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala. While three scans didn't show ligament damage, Cashman said the need for ligament replacement became clear when Andrews operated Wednesday.

I wonder if Cashman kept the receipt - maybe he can get an exchange.
