Sep 14, 2014 2:14 PM
Tigers reliever Al Alburquerque has had surgery on his pitching elbow and is likely to be sidelined for the first half of the season.
Detroit says that the right-hander had a screw inserted during an operation Thursday by Dr. James Andrews.
Alburquerque is expected to start a throwing progression toward the end of spring training and potentially return to game action by the All-Star break.
