今日のテキスト YANKEES' TANAKA INJURES ELBOW

One of Japan's star pitchers won't be participating in the All-Star Game this year. Masahiro Tanaka of the New York Yankees has been diagnosed with a partial ligament tear in his right elbow.
Tanaka complained of elbow pain after pitching in Cleveland on Tuesday. Specialists and the team physician made the diagnosis on Thursday.
Yankees' general manager Brian Cashman said that Tanaka could require six weeks of treatment and rehabilitation before he is ready to pitch again. But Cashman did not rule out the possibility that Tanaka could undergo a ligament transplant procedure, known as Tommy John surgery, if he does not respond to rehabilitation.
Tanaka has been the Major League's leading starter, with 12 wins in his debut season. His great pitching record got him selected for the All-Star Game on Tuesday.
