Stardust Wrote:Reds pitcher Edinson Volquez underwent "Tommy John" surgery on Monday and is expected to be out approximately 12 months, the team announced.



Dr. Timothy Kremchek did the surgery, which repaired a torn ulnar collateral ligament and torn flexor mass in the pitcher's right elbow.

Volquez had been on the disabled list since June 2 because of tendinitis in his right elbow.

Last week he complained of soreness after throwing 20 pitches in a simulated game.


Volquez was 4-2 with a 4.35 ERA this season.


“I feel bad because I’ve been working to get back,” Volquez said last week. “Now I want to be ready for next year.”

Funny after two months they just figure out that his UCL is torn? I understand wanting to avoid exploratory surgery but,you would think that when you are paying these guys millions of dollars that that would be the first thing that you would check for.
