Toronto, ON (My Sportsbook) - Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Shaun Marcum will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, and could miss all of the 2009 season. Heralded sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews will perform the procedure, though no date has been scheduled. Marcum has been battling problems in his right arm all season long. He missed a month between June and July with a sore right elbow, and had to leave his most recent start on Tuesday with pain in his right forearm and numbness in his hand. Marcum, 26, posted a 9-7 record and 3.39 earned run average in 25 starts with Toronto this season. |
