An L on top of an L. Need Reese back and no more significant injuries the rest of the way

Montero, Gipson long, bullpen games ala last season are options for the 5th spot

I wonder if there any scientific backing to what Goose Gossage was saying about pitchers forms and not having their lower body as involved as in the past is having an impact on the increase in young pitchers needing Tommy John surgery. I don't follow baseball enough to have an opinion. But I am curious as to why it happens so much now.
Think it's as simple as guys throwing max effort on most of their pitches. These guys don't pace themselves like pitchers did the previous 100+ years.

Too be fair starters are only going 5/6 innings a game so it's max effort everytime. I wonder how many complete games they've had this year in baseball as a whole
