Cody Anderson Undergoes Elbow Surgery

By Jeff Todd | November 10, 2016 at 1:47pm CDT

Indians righty Cody Anderson underwent an arthroscopic debridement of his right elbow yesterday, per a team announcement. He is expected to resume throwing in early January.

If all goes well with the rehab protocol, the team expects that Anderson will be able to ramp up in Spring Training as usual and be available at the start of the 2017 season. While his role is uncertain after a trying 2016 season, Anderson remains an important part of Cleveland’s pitching staff.

Heading into the year, Anderson was hoping to build off of a rookie year in which he posted a 3.05 ERA over 91 1/3 innings in 15 starts. While he jumped to a 12.2% swinging-strike rate, nearly doubled his strikeout rate (to 8.0 K/9), lowered his walk rate (to 1.9 BB/9), and showed added fastball velocity (93.5 mph) in 2016, Anderson ended with an ugly 6.68 ERA over 60 2/3 frames.

Anderson was somewhat more successful later in the year after transitioning to the bullpen, and showed well at Triple-A. But he’ll need to improve upon the batted ball outcomes to succeed in 2017. Last year, opposing hitters made soft contact at a meager 15.8% rate, which helped them post a lofty .381 BABIP, and hit nearly two home runs per nine with a 19.1% HR/FB rate.

Cleveland will surely hope that Anderson can bounce back from the injury, and his struggles, to function at least as a useful swingman. He could battle with Josh Tomlin, Mike Clevinger, Ryan Merritt, and perhaps others for a spot in the rotation in camp, though the first order of business will be to get healthy. It’s certainly possibly that Anderson could end up in the pen or working to refine his game at Triple-A to open next season.

    This is why the Indians should move Santana for a young MLB ready arm. Resign Nap. & Davis 2years + club option each. Tomlin/Merritt (throws 85 nuff said)/Anderson off another surgery/ and not really big fan of Clevinger either (has to be a reason Angels moved him for Pestano).. IMO Santana will start pressing when the cooler temps bring his numbers way down. Napoli/Davis is good for the Clubhouse. Also Davis will be key when Brantley starts breaking down, just like Sizemore/Gerut did.

    Decent power and walks, but his glove is a liability. I don’t know how many teams need another DH (and an atypical one at that). I say they keep him, resign Napoli and hope that Bradley is ready in two years. I would definitely put a QO on him and let him go test the market.
