Athletics' Pitcher Ken Waldichuk Undergoes Elbow Procedure

Following a flexor tendon strain and ulnar collateral ligament sprain diagnosis, Waldichuk is now in rehab with no set return date.

Oakland Athletics left-hander Ken Waldichuk underwent a procedure to remove scar tissue from his pitching elbow.
He experienced discomfort after his final start of the season on September 29 against the Los Angeles Angels.
Waldichuk was diagnosed with a flexor tendon strain and ulnar collateral ligament sprain following an MRI exam.
He chose a conservative route for rehab, undergoing the Tenex procedure with Dr. Steve Yoon on October 17 and a follow-up PRP injection to the flexor tendon on October 24.
There is currently no timetable for when Waldichuk might resume throwing.
