| Breaking News |  | Monday, September 22nd, 1969: Spiders Jenkins Out Rest Of Season
San Francisco starting pitcher Fergie Jenkins could miss the remainder of the season because of a herniated disc. He exited yesterday's Atlanta game after injuring himself while throwing a pitch. The original diagnosis said Jenkins would be out 7 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer.
"He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that."
Checking out his stats for the season, Jenkins has registered 12 wins and 12 losses in 31 starts, 3.47 ERA and struck out 102 batters in 228.1 innings.
