The Athletics announced that left-hander Ken Waldichuk suffered a flexor tendon strain and a UCL ligament sprain in his left elbow during his last start of the season on September 29.
The 25-year-old hurler wanted to go with a more conservative approach to his recovery, which led to him undergoing a Tenex procedure in mid-October and a PRP injection the following week. He’s currently participating in physical therapy, with no clear timeline for when he may be able to resume throwing. While the rest and rehab route seems to be the choice here, Tommy John surgery always looms as a possibility in the near future for Waldichuk
