 More Nationals NewsNationals LinksNationals pitcher Jason Marquis will be forced to undergo surgery to remove bone fragments from his throwing elbow. He'll have the procedure on Friday and will miss four to six weeks. Marquis had hoped to avoid surgery as he has never undergone an operation to repair his arm as a result of throwing. Washington general manager Mike Rizzo said he did not regret the decision not to operate on Marquis sooner. "It was an agreement between the player and us," Rizzo said Wednesday. "He felt he could pitch through it. We erred on his behalf to see if he could pitch through it. He's felt these things before and he has pitched through it. We want to do what's best for the player, and it was a mutual decision to let him pitch through it." |
