Dallas Braden to go Under the Knife

Worried about Dallas Braden ‘shouldering’ the pitching load? So is he. Especially because he needs to have surgery on his left shoulder to repair a torn capsule. This is not good news, folks. In light of Braden’s rehab, it was looking good that Dallas Braden, who is 1-1 this season in three starts with a 3.00 ERA, would come back to strengthen the A’s rotation even further. No time table has been set but it looks like A’s fans will get a nice, long look at Tyson Ross. This is really unfortunate for a guy who pitched the perfect game last year and who’s salary increased from about $400,000 last year to over $3.3M this year. Get well soon, Braden!
