David Aardsma To Rehab Elbow Ligament Sprain

I’ll let Aardsma give you the answer:

So Aardsma will try to strengthen his elbow and get back on a throwing schedule in a month. There’s no guarantee that he’ll be able to avoid ligament replacement surgery in the future, but he’s avoiding it for now, and may not need it at all. I don’t know how effective the rehab route usually is, but it wouldn’t be an option if it didn’t work.

David Aardsma has a grade 2 sprain of his ucl and will see Dr YocumDr. Lewis Yocum will figure out what the best course of action is, but it’s possible that Aardsma could need Tommy John surgery, though it’s also possible to avoid surgery with rest and rehabilitation depending on the severity of the sprain.
