110 pitches on April 2 at age 20, 111 pitches on April 11, then gone for the year.

Correlation does NOT equal causality, and the best-managed pitchers of any age can still get hurt.

But there is a relationship between injury risk, workload, and age.

And to that end, Carroll later commented that he did not like Hernandez's mechanics.

He discusses this further in a video piece on the MLB home page. I hope this link works.

Wait a minute...Since when is King Felix gone for the year? I thought he was on pace to come back next week?
