Ian Konrad 3-5-14 LEH Mrs. Guido LEH Flipped Activity What specific injury, i.e., bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, did the athlete suffer? The more severe injury that Johan Santana suffered was re-tearing the anterior capsule of his left shoulder. He re-tore the capsule when he was 34. What movement or action caused the injury? Johan Santana was pitching up until August of the 2012 season. He reported that he was having back, ankle, and shoulder problems. The pitching coach of the Mets later released that Johan Santana most likely re-tore his anterior capsule through excessive pitching and too much stress on the joint. Santana injured his capsule in his left shoulder through putting too much stress and pulling the shoulder joint too much.
