"It just felt not right": Rays' Ace Tyler Glasnow Suffers Partial UCL Tear

Tyler Glasnow has been a leading contender for the Cy Young Award this season, helping lead the Tampa Bay Rays to the best record in baseball. Now Rays' fans are devastated after Glasnow was diagnosed with a partially torn UCL in his elbow.

He could be seen shaking out his pitching arm on the mound, then was pulled after just 53 pitches. After the game, Glasnow said something just felt "not right":

"It just felt not right," Tyler Glasnow.

After experiencing some tightness in his right elbow, Tyler said that rather than push it and try to go back out for another inning he thought the safest thing to do was come out.#MLB #RaysUp pic.twitter.com/pHdT5CWLbW

For now, they're going to try rehab, to see if he can avoid going under the knife. 

Glasnow has been dominant this season, with a 2.66 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 123 strikeouts in 88 innings.
