SportTicker: Braves RHP [Rafael] Soriano undergoes surgery

Rafael Soriano’s injury-plagued season officially is over. Expected to be the Atlanta Braves’ closer this season, Soriano on Thursday underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow.

Plagued by elbow soreness for much of the year, the 28-year-old appeared in just 14 games, going 0-1 with three saves and a 2.57 ERA. Soriano finally opted to undergo surgery, which was performed by Dr. James Andrews.
...
Soriano, who is on the disabled list for the third time this season, is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for spring training in 2009.

Does Andrews ever sleep, or is it all CUT CUT CHOP?

To be clear, this was not Tommy John surgery. It was a nerve problem, not a ligament problem.

It was a nerve problem, not a ligament problem.

That makes me feel better.

Remember when Eric Gagne had a "nerve problem"? That resolved itself horrifically.
