Mr. Anderson has experienced sporadic discomfort in his elbow and received a platelet-rich plasma injection earlier this year. During the procedure, Dr. Andrews removed the gracilis tendon in Mr. Anderson’s hamstring to use as a graft in the elbow repair.
Mr. Anderson will spend one to two years recovering from the surgery before he is able to begin pitching again.
