 | Tuesday, March 9th, 2010: Career Over for Uggla, Major Injury
The Florida Marlins clubhouse was subdued this afternoon after Dan Uggla was seriously injured throwing the ball during the game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Uggla was taken to a local hospital for examination. This morning, doctors confirmed the preliminary diagnosis of a ruptured bicep tendon. They said Uggla will undergo surgery in the near future. This type of injury, they said, will require extensive rehabilitation. For all intents and purposes, his career in baseball is over.
It remains to be seen how Uggla's loss will affect the rest of the team. The Marlins owner, when reached for comment, said he planned to visit Uggla later today. "It's a sad day for us," he said. "We've lost a class individual. I hope that we can keep him in our organization in some capacity. Dan still has a lot to contribute to our baseball team."
