Jeez, part of 2016 too. Sucks for the Rays.
Since_77
Sorry to hear this, hope he gets back soon.
Jack Conness
Just goes to show you can never have enough pitching. Especially in today’s game. It seems like just a matter of time until an ace needs Tommy John. It’s pretty wild. Luckily for TB, they have a plethora of pitching prospects and if Moore can come back healthy, that will certainly help. Best of luck to Cobb though. He’s been a very good pitcher when healthy.
Matt Musal
Something needs to be done about all these pitchers needing TJ surgery. First Matt Moore, now Alex Cobb, the Rays need some help somewhere.
Pei Kang
it’s too bad they cannot trade for a vet like Hamels…sigh.
Matt Musal
Yea, I know. Maybe we can find someone that won’t cost us a arm and a leg.
chris 59
we will be fine still best starting rotation in Al east
Matt Musal
Yea, I know, news like this just gets you. Box is going to have to step up even more, we also need Drew to stay healthy.

Wait…. I thought partially torn ligaments don’t require surgery?
Draven Moss
It depends how torn it is. Tanaka has a partially torn UCL and he never needed the surgery, though I think the wear-and-tear will eventually get to him. Cobb’s must be a lot more severe, hence why he is gonna need surgery.

It’s getting close to a point where it would be a shorter and more uncommon article to list a pitcher NOT going in for TJS…
Pei Kang
sadly
HubcapDiamondStarHalo
Completely agree.
YankeesRus
If Tanaka comes back healthy and Nova comes back effectively, Yankees will have a serious bid for the best rotation
Charlie Burns
All big ifs though.
YankeesRus
Agreed
LlamaJackson
Tanaka’s not coming back healthy and at 100%. By putting of TJ surgery he’s just delaying the inevitable.
Joe Blow
Is anyone keeping track on the success rate of this ‘platelet’ stuff?
Other than Bartolo Colon, it doesn’t seem to have worked for anyone.
And I suspect in his case, it was a cover for other substances….
David Coonce
Proof?
Joe Blow
90 please, on the rocks.
Aaron Egnor
Yeah, I’m sure James Andrews keeps track of it quite well.

Wow. This is truly a pandemic.
