Dick Allen Posted Thursday at 07:27 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:27 PM Competitive baseball players often develop painful bone spurs in the elbow. The spurs compromise ability to throw and is often treated with arthroscopic surgery to remove them. Most players experience an encouraging initial recovery with return to high level throwing. However, a large percentage of players will go on to develop symptomatic tears of their medial collateral ligament (MCL) and require Tommy John Surgery to continue throwing at a high level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted Thursday at 07:48 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:48 PM Obviously I’m hoping it’s not a big deal, but if it is Tommy John, maybe it will actually help him add velo to his fastball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted Thursday at 08:13 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:13 PM All I'll say is given the Sox history with pitchers over the past few years this seemed inevitable as Thanos would say. As someone pointed out the Sox first reported he would be ready to go for spring training, then it would be later in the spring to now this. Typical White Sox. It would be better I think if they just didn't say anything or if they felt they had to with injuries let the doctors actually speak to the press not the field manager or the general manager or the clubhouse attendant 😆 or anybody else who really don't know s%*#. Just have the TJS or whatever surgery is needed right now, stop dicking around and we'll see you next year (maybe...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted Thursday at 08:16 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:16 PM Injuries are going to happen. Before the White Sox are good again, there's a decent chance bigger names wind up under the knife. Hopefully they recover and become good MLB pitchers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop screwing around with these guys 'hoping" rest and rehab will solve the issue. History shows at least with the Sox (hello Rodon, Dunning, Martin et al) that doesn't seem to be working out.

Could it be something like just working through some scar tissue Expand Possible. Also possible that there is still something in his motion that is causing the same irritation. Also possible it's some muscle soreness from throwing differently. Those are the best. The worst is that he was trying to ramp up to quickly and injured the UCL. Could be anything in between. Unless you could examine the elbow there is no telling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
