Casilla has elbow surgery
June 5, 2010
Alexi Casilla has gone through successful arthroscopic surgery to remove a bone spur in his right elbow. The infielder opted to have surgery as it was affecting his swing and very little progress was being made while taking anti-inflammatory medication.
If everything goes well, Casilla will return from surgery in four to eight weeks. Casilla was place on the 15-day disabled list on May 31st due to the bone spur and Matt Tolbert was called up to take his place on the 25-man roster.
“Lexi’s surgery went good. They got everything cleared up. Now, it will take a little while to see how long it will take him to get back,” Twins Manager Ron Gardenhire said about the surgery.
