BOSTON — Boston Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock said his season is over and he’s expected to have his right ulnar collateral ligament repaired with an internal brace.
Recovery from internal brace, which uses artificial material to make the repair, has allowed pitchers to return to the majors in as little as nine months. Tommy John surgery, which uses a tendon from elsewhere in the body to replace the torn ligament, has a rehab period of 12 to 18 months.“Just because I’m dealt another blow, it’s how you get up, how you fight and that’s how I’m viewing this and how I’m attacking it,” he said.
“It was one of those things where a fluke thing happened,” he said. “Just another thing I’ve dealt with. I’ve just got to keep a positive attitude.”
