A’s LHP Anderson has elbow surgery, out for season |
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Athletics say left-handed pitcher Brett Anderson will miss the rest of the season after having reconstructive surgery on his elbow.

He went on the 15-day disabled list on June 7 because of elbow soreness. The 23-year-old pitcher originally had a platelet rich plasma injection in his elbow and was going to see whether rehabilitation could help him. After an evaluation period, it was decided that Anderson needed surgery. Anderson was 7-6 with a 2.80 ERA in 19 starts last year. Thanks for visiting our blog =).
