Season May Be Over For Moylan

Written by Jonathan on April 17, 2008 – 6:23 pm

We won’t know for sure for a couple of weeks, but there’s a chance that Peter Moylan is done for the season with his elbow injury.  The Braves will reevaluate his status in two weeks to determine the next best step for Moylan.  The diagnosis was confirmed today with a second look at his elbow; a bone spur pressing against his ulnar collateral ligament has compromised the integrity of the ligament.

We should know in a couple of weeks if Moylan will need Tommy John surgery to reconstruct his UCL.  If surgery is deemed necessary, he will definitely be done for the remainder of the season for the long recovery process.  More to come on this as we hear it, but it’s not the best news for our bullpen right now.
