Isringhausen To Have Tommy John Surgery

Marc Lancaster of the Tampa Tribune reports that Jason Isringhausen will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. The surgery will end the 36-year-old's season and, possibly, his career. The Rays signed him last winter to contribute to a bullpen that had been surprisingly good in 2008. Isringhausen only pitched eight innings this year before going on the DL.

As Drew pointed out when we heard he was going on the 60-day DL, Izzy's 293 saves are enough to place him 22nd on the all-time list.

Since when is a 1-5 record, 5.70 ERA, 12 saves in 19 opportunities, 1.64 WHIP, and a .273 opponents batting average "surprisingly good"?

Learn to read. Surprisingly good is referring to the 2008 Rays' bullpen. How do you misread that??

I did misread that. My bad.

sad to hear that thats what happened to him. I'm nto a rays fan, btu i had hoped it wasnt a severe injury. If this does end his career, i hope he makes it into the HOF one day. He's been a very solid reliever
