Carpenter to have elbow surgery
Cardinals ace to miss the rest of season, maybe part of 2008


ATLANTA -- The Cardinals confirmed on Thursday that ace Chris Carpenter will
undergo reconstructive elbow surgery.
Carpenter, who has not pitched since Opening Night, will have the medial
collateral ligament in his throwing elbow replaced -- commonly known as Tommy
John surgery.

After several days of consultations with leading doctors including James
Andrews, Lewis Yocum and David Altchek, it was determined that Carpenter
should have the reconstruction. The typical return time for Tommy John
surgery is between 10 and 12 months for starting pitchers, meaning that at
least part of the 2008 season is in jeopardy for the '05 Cy Young winner.

Carpenter underwent a procedure in May to remove bone spurs that had become
problematic in his elbow. His recovery had been going well until his second
Minor League rehabilitation start, and the club had hoped he would return
before the end of July. However, after the second start, Carpenter reported
swelling and stiffness in the joint.


Carpenter本季報銷了......今年又少了一個強投了,真可惜~~~~~
