September 16, 2005 It turns out that Troy Percival does not need surgery on his right elbow, according to the AP. He has been sidelined since July 10 because of a muscle tear in his elbow. "He's (Dr. Lewis Yocum) not going to want to do any surgery," Percival said. "He liked the way the scar tissue looked to be healing. The strength was coming, so I'm basically in a pattern where I can start doing some rehab stuff, some strengthening stuff, and then start throwing in December. Then we'll go from there." |
|
July 22, 2005 The Tigers transerred Troy Percival to the 60-day disabled list, according to the AP. He was placed on the 15-day DL on July 14, retroactive to July 10, with a partial tear of the right flexor pronator muscle mass. Percival is out for the rest of the season. |
|
July 22, 2005 Troy Percival said he should decide by September whether he will undergo surgery to repair a torn muscle in his forearm, a procedure that could keep him from pitching next season, according to the Detroit Free Press. He's already expected to miss the remainder of this season. |
|
July 19, 2005 Troy Percival was examined Monday by Dr. Lewis Yocum, who diagnosed the closer with a partial tear in the muscle of his right forearm, according to the AP. He is expected to miss the remainder of the season, as Yocum recommended two months of rest. It's not known if surgery will be required. |
|
July 16, 2005 Troy Percival will have an MRI taken on his injured elbow Monday, according to the Detroit Free Press. If surgery is needed, Percival could be out for 10 to 12 months. In the situation that surgery is needed, it is likely that he would retire. "If I never threw another pitch," said Percival, "I'm content with what I've done, but not with what I've done here." He holds a 5.76 ERA in 26 games with the Tigers this season. |
|
July 15, 2005 Troy Percival is scheduled to meet with Dr. Lewis Yocum on Monday to have his ailing pitching elbow examined, according to the AP. Percival, who missed a month with elbow problems earlier in the season and went back on the disabled list Thursday, said that he has been in pain since his return. |
|
July 14, 2005 The Tigers placed Troy Percival on the 15-day disabled list with a torn right forearm muscle, according to the AP. He is 1-3 with a 5.76 ERA this season and has eight saves in 11 chances. Percival was on the DL from May 8 to June 4 with the same injury. It's not clear if Kyle Farnsworth, Fernando Rodney or Franklyn German will take over as the new closer. |
|
June 8, 2005 With Ugueth Urbina being sent to the Phillies, Troy Percival will reclaim his position as the Tigers' closer. Percival was activated from the 15-day disabled list earlier in the week and was slowly working his way back into the role. |
|
June 6, 2005 The Detroit News reports that Troy Percival will not immediately regain the closer role for the Tigers. Percival is expected to work a middle innings and setup role for a while until he proves he's back to 100 percent. Part of the reason for the decision is that Percival did not go on a rehab assignment before coming off the disabled list. |
|
June 5, 2005 The Tigers activated Troy Percival from the DL in time for Sunday's game. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning in a non-save situation for the team. |
|
June 4, 2005 The Tigers will activate Troy Percival in time for Sunday's game against Baltimore, according to the AP. Percival has been out since May 8 with a partial tear in his right forearm. Urbina has been closing games for the Tigers while Percival has been out, but Percival is likely to regain the closer role once he returns. Wilfredo Ledezma was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to make room for Percival. |

|
May 27, 2005 Troy Percival is expected to test his injured right forearm by throwing in the bullpen Sunday, according to the AP.

April 25, 2005 Troy Percival got the final three outs on Monday to finally earn his first save as a member of the Tigers. Even more encouraging was the fact that he struck out two of the three batters he faced. Coming into the game, Percival had just two strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings. |
|
April 22, 2005 Troy Percival blew his first save of the season Friday night when he gave up a homer to Justin Morneau in the ninth, but he held on through the tenth inning to pick up his first win, as Pudge Rodriguez hit a walk-off homer in the bottom of the inning. He has yet to earn a save with the Tigers. |
