Jarrod Parker To Undergo Surgery

By Jeff Todd | March 18, 2016 at 5:40pm CDT

5:40pm: Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle writes that it is “likely” that Parker now faces a third Tommy John procedure.

11:35am: Athletics righty Jarrod Parker will undergo surgery on his injured right arm on April 1st, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle was among those to report (Twitter links). Parker was recently diagnosed with a re-fracture of the medial epicondyle in his right elbow.

It’s not yet clear precisely what procedure will be undertaken, but it will be performed by noted surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache. Parker, of course, previously had the same injury addressed in surgery and progressed quite a ways in his rehab before it reoccurred. He’s also had two Tommy John procedures performed in recent years.

Parker, 27, had been said to be weighing his options after his latest setback. He was attempting to return as a reliever after showing promise earlier in his career as a member of the Oakland rotation.

Though he made it back for some minor league action last year, Parker hasn’t thrown in the majors since 2013. He avoided arbitration with Oakland this year for $850K, half of it guaranteed, and is eligible for arbitration one final time in the 2017 season.

    Am I the only one who looks for the redsox guy to say something on every post?

      Lololol I literally scrolled down to the comments to see a comment like “maybe my Red Sox can pull him out of retirement to play first instead of Hanley” this feels mean I’m so sorry

      Nope. Every single post that’s the first thing I look for. I admire his love for his team and that he reads these articles to learn more about baseball, but it is humorous.

      …which he’ll have to take significant time off frequently for a series of throat infections…

    It may be only because the A’s play in the same division as the Angels that they’ll avoid losing 100 games this year.

      lol Parker was way down on the depth chart and due to be reliever at AAA this season, losing Parker and gaining the Orioles guy was actually better for the team.

    I hate stories like this. how many rehabs can someone manage? If he does choose to do it, he’s worth rooting for, no matter who your hometown team is.

    I think Tommy John should pass the torch and allow it to be named Jarrod Parker surgery

      The third Tommy John is the Jarrod Parker? Makes sense.

    This is awful. A very talented pitcher dammed by injuries. But that’s life. At this point, he should somehow reinvent himself or simply retire….

    Hope he can get back. Likely though this is it. Arms only have so many pitches in them and I’m afraid Parker has hit his limit. I think the multiple fracture of his arm is the far more major of the two injuries.

    Jonny Venters has had 3 TJ’s and is currently throwing 98 for the Rays, so there’s still hope for Parker.

    So lame that most of this thread is posts not about the topic.
