Does Araki have arm and hamstring issues?
Or was the original report misreported?
Thanks
Which original report are you talking about?
AFAIK, the reason he’s coming off the active roster today is because of a hamstring strain (biceps femoris muscle), which will reportedly take about two weeks for a full recovery.
Oops, I guess I should have taken a class on anatomy.
I assumed a bicep was in the arm.
Never heard a hamstring injury described to that detail.
As always you provide the details to the next-level.
Thanks!
