An MRI didn’t reveal structural damage to Mr. Zumaya’s elbow, but he still experiences pain when he pitches. He completed two weeks of a six-week rehabilitation plan before making the decision to undergo surgery.

Last June, Mr. Zumaya underwent surgery for a nondisplaced fracture in his throwing arm.
