Shawn Hillegas Sidelined for Season Friday, September 8th , 2000 A blow for Shawn Hillegas today -- team doctors confirmed he will miss 12-13 months with a ruptured ulnar collateral ligament. Hillegas suffered the injury throwing a pitch. Although officials from the Tampa Deputies are confident he'll make a full recovery, doubts will persist about Hillegas's ability to return fully fit with an injury of this nature. Hillegas has taken the mound for 8 relief appearances this season, nailing down 3 saves while notching a 2-1 record with a 1.01 ERA. The Tampa reliever has limited opposing batters to a .185 batting average. |
