He was optimistic that all would return 100% except for Soria. He said there is little history of people returning from a 2nd tommy johns, so they don’t know what to expect.

I'm not a doctor... I only play one on the internet... but if you know a guy has "compromised" his elbow isn't there some preventative maintenance/treatment that can maybe be done to keep it from blowing out? Maybe not.
