When veteran left-hander Francisco Liriano left St. Louis' game against Madison in the top of the third inning with an injury, there was no question it seemed serious.
Now it looks like it might be career-ending.
Liriano has been diagnosed with a torn flexor tendon that is expected to keep him out for a year.
With him being 37 years old later this season, it's doubtful Liriano will be in much demand if he should become healthy again.
He didn't do much on the major league level this season for the River Walkers, going 1-0 with three starts and a 3.29 ERA.
The game does not detail his entire career stats, which began back in 2005 with the Minnesota Twins.
The Walkers have yet to determine how they plan to fill Liriano's spot, as he already was filling in for Danny Duffy who is expected to be out another week with a strained abdominal muscle.
For now, right-handed reliever John Curtiss has been called up from AAA Memphis.
