Veteran left-hander Randy Wolf will undergo Tommy John surgery next week that will cause him to miss all of the 2013 season, writes Dan Connolly of The Baltimore Sun. However, the 36-year-old told Connolly that he plans to return in 2014.
Wolf also underwent Tommy John surgery in July of 2005 as a member of the Phillies, sidelining him for the remainder of the season and the first half of the 2006 season. The lefty was picked up by the Orioles after he was released in the final season of his three-year deal with the Brewers. Wolf posted a 5.65 ERA with 5.9 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 157.2 innings of work for the two clubs.
I can’t believe Wolf throws hard enough for Tommy John.
Now he’ll throw even harder.
Wolf will be 37 at the start of 2014—I find it hard to believe that he has not thrown his last MLB pitch.
jamie moyer says hey
Moyer did not make it through the full season because of ineffectiveness; he was released by 3 organizations in the past season.
… And he’s a decade older. I think that was the point.
He’s lefthanded, which means he’s still got five more years to go.
