On Wednesday, May 1st, Cleveland Indians’ starting pitcher Cory Kluber took a line drive to his right arm. After an X-ray and CT scan, Kluber was diagnosed with a non-displaced ulna fracture (meaning it’s just a crack). This will heal naturally. Reports indicate that Kluber will be reevaluated in 3-4 weeks.

The rate at which the bone regains strength depends on the location of the fracture. Fractures closer to the end of bone (the metaphysis) can strengthen a bit quicker than those in the shaft. Treatment is mainly for comfort. A full recovery is expected.
