Wednesday 6/8/1981: Larry Gura (OAK) will miss 6 weeks
OAKLAND - Oakland's southpaw Larry Gura suffered a severe injury on Wednesday and will be out for at least 6 weeks.

The message shocked teammates and team officials. In 7 starts this year Larry struck out 24 batters in 66.2 innings of work. His ERA is 5.00, his record 2-6.
Monday 6/6/1981: San Diego's Fingers out for full season
SAN DIEGO - San Diego's right-hander Rollie Fingers experienced probably the worst case scenario for a pitcher, a season ending injury. After pitching in the 15th inning of the game against Philadelphia, Fingers complained about serious pain in his throwing arm. He had to leave the game. After being examined by several specialists the diagnosis is clear: Bone Chips Shoulder. In 0 starts this year Rollie struck out 16 batters in 28.1 innings of work. His ERA is 4.13, his record 1-3.
Monday 6/6/1981: Atlanta's Roenicke wins Player of the Week award
New York (A)'s shortstop Jorge Orta had some reason to celebrate, as the league named him the American League Player of the Week. Orta helped his team with an average of .400 and 13 RBI in 25 at bats. Orta has hit for a .329 average this season. He has 19 extra base hits along with 88 total bases, resulting in a .527 slugging percentage. He's 4th in the American League in batting and 8th in RBI! It's the 2nd time that the National League Player of the Week award goes to Atlanta's leftfielder Gary Roenicke. In 16 at bats he hit .500 with 3 HR and 7 RBI. Roenicke has hit for a .265 average this season. He has 13 extra base hits along with 76 total bases, resulting in a .411 slugging percentage.
Wednesday 6/1/1981: Tom Hausman quiets Pittsburgh bats with shutout
PITTSBURGH - Great days are rare. But not for Atlanta's right-hander Tom Hausman. Pittsburgh found out the hard way that he is among the leagues top pitchers, getting just 2 hits. It's his 2nd shutout this season, and the 8th time he has done it in his career. Hausman (8-2) struck out 4 and walked 1, throwing 50 of 92 pitches for strikes. 'Winning is the most important thing. And I gave my team all the support it needed!' Atlanta's centerfielder Dale Murphy finished with 2 hits in 4 AB, hitting two dingers, scoring 2 runs with 5 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Hausman. Atlanta improved its record to 39-17, scoring 10 runs on 10 hits.
Wednesday 6/1/1981: Les Cain (TOR) will miss 5 weeks
TORONTO - Toronto is without its ace Les Cain for at least 5 weeks. He injured himself while throwing a pitch to Ken Reitz in a game against Cleveland.

The diagnosis revealed the sad truth, a Bone Chips Elbow. Opposing players hit .279 against Les this season. While posting an ERA of 3.36 he went 5-5 in 12 starts, fanning 32 and walking 21 hitters. He has 3 complete games and one shutout.
