Dan Altavilla Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

By Anthony Franco | June 29, 2021 at 6:57pm CDT

Padres reliever Dan Altavilla has undergone Tommy John surgery, he announced on Twitter. That’ll obviously prevent him from pitching again in 2021, and he’s likely to miss most or all of the 2022 season given the procedure’s 12-16 month general recovery timetable.

Altavilla made two appearances this year before going on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. He was transferred to the 60-day IL in late May. Evidently, his attempts to rehab the injury without surgery proved unsuccessful.

The 28-year-old has pitched in the majors in each of the past six seasons. Altavilla broke in with the Mariners and went to San Diego before last summer’s trade deadline as part of the seven-player Austin Nola deal. In 116 MLB innings, the right-hander has worked to a 4.03 ERA/4.11 SIERA with an above-average 26.1% strikeout rate but an elevated 12.1% walk percentage.

Altavilla signed an $850K deal with the Friars to avoid arbitration over the winter. Since he barely pitched this year, he’d be in line for the same or marginally higher amount if tendered a contract for 2022. That’s hardly bank-breaking money, but it’s possible the Padres decide to non-tender Altavilla rather than devote a 40-man roster spot to him all winter. (Players have to be reinstated from the IL over the offseason). If San Diego does tender Altavilla a contract, he’d be controllable through 2023.

    I got serious concerns about whatever it is the Padres are doing to their pitchers.

      Yea I’m sure It’s got nuttin to do with the fact that Dan has been pumping 98 mph FB’s for 6 yrs. Did you see his walk rate? The guy walks so many people he ends up throwing 2-3 inn worth of pitches! He throws with such maximum effort it’s shocking he hasn’t needed TJ before this.

    @MLBTR & @Mr Dierkes –

    Well, he did it again.
    Every time the comments on a thread get nuked, that Cey Hey guy is *always* at the heart of it.

    & it’s easy to see why.
    He has made a habit of coming to threads & posting awful & unfounded accusations to many of the other posters on the board. Did it again last night. He is not even a member, yet oftentimes his targets are fellas who have expressed their support of this site by joining.

    Why has he not been banned? He is much more destructive to the cohesiveness than any “troll” on the board.

    I don’t get it. I certainly don’t understand why his behavior is somehow acceptable.
    Ya know?

      We all knew the comments were going to get deleted. The fact they left them up for hours about that subject is actually pretty rare.

      unfortunately a cross section of society today Bucky, but agree it shouldn’t be tolerated and glad they were deleted at least

    Altavilla when healthy hasn’t been stellar, but the Pads seemed high on him. Still, I’m guessing they’ll have to non-tender him to manage 40 man roster. .

    Sorry, misread what you said. I actually think he has been good at times, but inconsistent.

      He’s got the pitches to be good but has never put it together yet and now his career clock is really ticking. He’ll probably figure it out later in career, excel for the Giants or Rays LOL
