Scott Silverstein, a 2008 graduate of St. John’s College High School, was diagnosed Wednesday at Sibley Hospital with a torn labrum. The attending doctor, Ben Shaffer (Washington Nationals Orthopedic Surgeon), performed a scope of Silverstein's shoulder due to continued soreness.
Silverstein, who was drafted by the Washington Nationals last week in the 32nd round of the 2008 Major League Baseball first-year player draft, is expected to be able to make a successful recovery after an eight-month rehabilitation program. Silverstein (6-5, 210) will be attending the University of Virginia in the fall and is expected to pitch for the baseball team in February 2009.
