GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Chicago White Sox right-hander Mike Vasil
is set for season-ending Tommy John surgery after leaving his
most recent spring training start with right elbow soreness.
The team said on its website Tuesday that Vasil's surgery will
be performed in the coming weeks by Texas Rangers team physician
Dr. Keith Meister. The club estimated the recovery time at 12-18
months.
Vasil exited a start against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the
fourth inning Saturday. He was 5-3 with a 2.50 ERA as a rookie
last year, when he made three starts in 47 appearances.
The 25-year-old was competing for a spot in the rotation after
being a key part of the bullpen for the White Sox, who picked
him up on waivers last year.
