Bronson Arroyo may have surgery

As a shocked Moulty sends out a half-Kozakiewicz gesture to Arroyo.

Bronson Arroyo said Sunday he is considering having offseason surgery for his carpal-tunnel syndrome, and not just for pitching purposes.

The right-hander still is not able to pursue his recreational passion of playing the guitar.

“It’s driving me crazy,” Arroyo said. “Every single time I get to the hotel room or I’m at the house and it’s 2 o’clock in the morning, I’m irritated because I can’t play the guitar. I just can’t do it, because it gets numb.”

As he spoke, Arroyo thumbed through a rock music magazine while seated in the Progressive Field visitors’ clubhouse.
