FORT MYERS, Fla. — The fireballer has flamed out once again, and this time it may be for good.

Minnnesota Twins reliever Joel Zumaya was diagnosed with a torn ligament in his right elbow on Sunday, meaning his latest comeback bid has ended almost before it began.

Joel Zumaya Considering Retirement

Joel Zumaya's 2012 season is over because of yet another elbow injury and the reliever is now contemplating retirement.

If he wants to continue pitching, he'll have to put in another year of rehab work with a focus towards 2013.

"Right now, my perspective is probably not," he said.

"I know I'm pretty young, but I'm probably going to go on six surgeries if I go get another one. I'm only 27 years old. I've taken a lot of wear and tear on my body, especially my arm, and then rehab, and it just mentally takes a lot out of you."

It's to the point where there's no reason to try to continue. When you have that rough of injury luck.
