Gerald Hofman (DUB) will miss 5 weeks

DUBLIN - When it rains, it pours. Dublin's right-hander
Gerald Hofman will not pitch for at least 5 weeks,
handing the team a huge setback. He suffered a serious
injury in a game against Athens where he left the field
in the 7th inning. After being examined by several
specialists the diagnosis is clear: Strained Bicep
Muscle. In 0 starts this year Gerald struck out 7 batters
in 6.1 innings of work. His ERA is 7.11, his record
0-1.

This pitcher is a reliever and didn't start. This line could be read a couple ways.

In 6 relief appearances,... or if he did make a start,
In 6 appearances, including 1 start,...

Relief appearances = total games - games started. Another flag to throw in is pitcher type (starter or reliever/closer).

The last line (record and ERA) could be rewritten to make a complete sentence. ... struck out 7 batters over 6.1 innings of work, with an ERA of 7.11 and a record of 0-1.
