 | Thursday, September 11th, 1969: Detroit MR Will Miss 1-2 Weeks
Detroit fans will be disappointed to learn that Joe Hoerner developed a tender elbow while throwing a pitch in today's game. After the doctor informed the Detroit Griffins manager that Hoerner was expected to miss 1-2 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the reliever could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper.
This year Hoerner has made 38 relief appearances with 1 save. In 44.2 innings, he has permitted 29 hits, fanned 25 hitters and recorded 5 wins and no losses with a 2.01 ERA.
