Baseball Prospectus | Events | Chat with Will Carroll:
"Peter (Mankato): If I recall, Joe Nathan had some chips removed from his elbow in the fall. That's generally not a big deal, right?
Will Carroll: Usually no. All indications are that this is just adhesions (scar tissue), which is uncomfortable, but nothing to be overly concerned about. Nathan's chips were embedded in the UCL, I'm told, so it was a bit more involved than someone like Santana."
What I found interesting is the chips were removed from the UCL. All I kept thinking was the ligament is now "partially torn" with the glue of the chips removed.
Seems my instincts were correct although possibly for the wrong reasons.
