BOSTON -- Red Sox right-hander Hunter Dobbins said on Saturday he knew his season was probably over when he felt a familiar feeling in his knee.
He was right. Dobbins was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, his second ACL tear in his right knee.
"Yeah. I've torn my ACL in this knee before and it was the same feeling," he said, standing in the middle of Boston's clubhouse with a red sleeve on his right leg. "Kind of some denial went into it, tried to go through that warm-up pitch, felt the same sensation again so, at that point, I knew what it was.
