Tyler Yates Undergoes Tommy John Surgery
Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Pirates right-hander Tyler Yates will miss the rest of the season after undergoing Tommy John Surgery yesterday. Kovacevic writes:
Just spoke at length with Yates, and he sounded plenty confident he will return, by early next season at the latest. "I know I'll be back," he said. "It's going to be a lot of work, but I've been through this before." He had Tommy John on the same elbow ligament in 2002. He also had shoulder surgery in 2005.
Yates was 0-2 with a 7.50 ERA in 12 innings this season but was decent the last couple of years pitching out of the bullpen for the Pirates and the Braves.

What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.

Obviously.
Too bad he can also rip apart his elbow.
