Detroit Tigers pitcher Joel Zumaya suffered what appeared to be a  dreadful elbow injury Monday night in Minneapolis, leaving the reliever  writhing on the field in agonizing pain. With one out in the eighth  inning, the hard-throwing Zumaya threw a 99-mph fastball to Twins  outfielder Delmon Young.Zumaya reacted almost instantly, twisting in  discomfort before falling to the ground. His right hand was visibly  shaking, and Tigers catcher Greg Laird -- who was 60 feet away from  Zumaya at the time of the injury -- said he heard a "pop."
Zumaya,  who has a history of injury troubles, is known for pitching at  extremely high velocities. He was once clocked throwing a pitch at 104  mph.
After the game, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said, "It  obviously doesn't look good. It's an awful bad feeling when you see  something like that happen to anybody." Scroll down for unsettling video  of Zumaya's injury.
