Ulnar Collateral Ligament

You tear it and you get Tommy John Surgery.

Can't say I'm surprised about Zumaya. He puts a ton of torque on his arm. He's had arm and shoulder injuries before but the were kind of freak injuries.

Yes.......sore wrist from playing Guitar Hero and injuring his shoulder while helping his father move (though it would hurt later that year, which was 2009 I thought.) Just tough luck on his end.
