Chris Sale To Undergo Tommy John Surgery
By Mark Polishuk | March 19, 2020 at 4:04pm CDT
Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale will undergo Tommy John surgery, as per a team announcement. Sale will be out of action for roughly the next 12-15 months, as per the usual recovery timeline, and will miss all of the 2020 season.
This should have been done last July. He would have only missed 2020 instead of both 2020 and 2021. Dumb. Great contract by DD.
If he had the surgery last July/August, he might be ready for the 2021 season.
Sox 4 Ever
Detect a pattern? Shutdown for seven months, then can't throw a bullpen without pain... good thing the Sox wasted another 10 days just to make absolutely certain his elbow still hurt.
More likely, all involved just agreed this was the optimum time, considering the possibility there won't be a season this season...
... but don't expect to see Sale back in action until 2022, depending on when he has surgery -- right now, sore elbows aren't really a priority in the medical world. I know a guy who recently blew out his ACL and docs won't even schedule his reconstructive op yet.
Guys, I hate to say I told you so, but the story never made sense.
PRP for inflammation? Didn’t improve with many months of rest? Suggestion of TJS but no evidence the ligament is torn? Guys, I saw through it from the start
