Reds' Guardado Will Have Elbow Surgery
Oct 15, 2014 12:52 PM
Reds closer Eddie Guardado will have ligament-replacement surgery on his left elbow, an operation that usually sidelines pitchers for at least a year.
Guardado had been on the disabled list since Aug. 20 with a sore left forearm, but he thought it was getting better. On Wednesday, an MRI exam revealed a torn ulnar collateral ligament, the Reds said. Guardado was transferred to the 60-day disabled list.
"No pitcher wants to go through something like this, especially when you come to a new team," Guardado said. "I wanted to help the team out."
