Wainwright possible tommy-john surgery
Wainwright is on his way back to St. Louis to have his right elbow examined.
From MLStew:
"General manager John Mozeliak said he believes it is a "significant injury" and the early word is "not encouraging."
Tommy John surgery is one alternative to repair the damage that Wainwright is being checked for.
"After his bullpen on Monday he did feel something in his right elbow," Mozeliak said. "I can say just based on the initial evaluation from our training staff, things do not look encouraging. But before jump to any conclusions we'll just wait until the re-evaluation this afternoon."
BRUTAL news for Wainy owners, the Cards and Wainwright himself if it turns out to be TJ.
Wow - huge if that bad. And I don't know if Carpenter is good for 16 wins anymore.
I wouldn't bank on it either.Originally Posted by Dobber
Just rambling about it right now. Huge blow for any team that loses their ace.
Everyone has been worried about this guy having some kind of arm injury and it just happened, his throwing motion scared me off enough. He's great when healthy, but this could be a career threatening injury.
By the way...
Mozeliak confirms Wainwright will have Tommy John surgery.

AWFUL news. I'm just glad I haven't submitted my list of keepers to one league yet....he was on it!
Yucky. The Felix Hernandez of the National League is gone. All of a sudden, the Cardinals rotation is terrible.
Very unfortunate, he's been so good and he has resurrected his career in St. Louis after a short stay in Atlanta. Lets hope he's ready to go for next season.
