Cashman said Joba injured himself while playing with his son. They were jumping around on a “trampoline” of sorts.

He’s still in the hospital and will be for several days. According to Curry, Brian Cashman keeps saying it’s “a significant injury,” seems distressed, and can’t say what the time frame for recovery is. But really, you have to assume it will be very long. UPDATE: Yup, it’s all of 2012.
This while trying to come back from Tommy John surgery. Just totally snakebit. Assuming snakes sit on trampolines, waiting to bite you.
