Here we describe a case report of a small ligament injury in the shoulder of a 14-year-old young male athlete, player of the Brazilian Baseball National team. This kind of injury is uncommon and little described in literature. Treatment provided was the suspension of sport-related activities for three months, followed by a gradual return to throws. The patient evolved to clinical picture resolution.
