Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) – Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Bronson Arroyo informed the media Monday that he will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n
Arroyo, who landed on the disabled list on June 15 with tendinitis in his right elbow, had an MRI taken last month that showed a sprained ulnar collateral ligament.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old appeared to be close to returning after throwing on Friday without difficulty, but a reevaluation had the right-hander change his mind and decide to undergo surgery.<\/p>\n
The durable veteran had started at least 29 games in each of his past 10 seasons and had gone 369 starts without a DL stint. It was the second-longest active streak among pitchers, trailing only Toronto’s Mark Buehrle (443).<\/p>\n
Arroyo compiled a 7-4 record with a 4.08 ERA over 14 starts this season, his first with the Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n
Arroyo, who broke into the majors with Pittsburgh in 2000, owns a career record of 145-131 with a 4.19 ERA across 405 games with the Pirates, Red Sox, Reds and Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
