Yu gotta be kidding!
SURPRISE, Ariz. – The Rangers got the worst possible diagnosis Saturday on Yu Darvish’s triceps soreness: He has a tear in the ulnar colletaral ligament in his right elbow and Tommy John surgery looms as the most likely fix.
Darvish will get a second opinion on the elbow, but if he elects surgery, he will miss the entire season. If he tries to rest and rehab the ligament, the best case would be for a return around the All-Star break.
“I will be disappointed if I have to miss this season, but I want to look at all the options, including getting a second opinion, before I make a final decision,” Darvish said in a statement. “In the meantime, my heart is with my teammates and our focus remains on accomplishing our goals for the season.”
An MRI revealed a “sprain” of the UCL ligament, the same ligament in which Darvish had some inflammation last season that led to him missing the final six weeks of the season. He essentially wen the rest-and-rehab route last fall before being diagnosed as healed by team orthopedist Dr. Keith Meister. He had another clean MRI in January. The Friday MRI revealed “damage to the fibers.”
