Nathan undergoes Tommy John surgery
March 28, 2010
Joe Nathan has had successful Tommy John surgery this past Friday to repair his torn ulnar collateral ligament. The procedure removed a tendon from his left wrist and placed into his right elbow. The surgery has put All-Star closer on the shelf for the 2010 season.
Twins general manager, Bill Smith, is optimistic about Nathan’s surgery. He also added that Nathan will begin rehab shortly, first in Fort Myers, FL, then in Minnesota once the baseball season begins as the club now has the proper facilities at Target Field.
“The report I got was everything went great,” Smith said. “There was nothing else in there of any concern. The doctor was very pleased.”
We wish Joe Nathan the best of luck and hope that he has a speedy recovery.
