Pelfrey to have season-ending surgery

Posted April 26, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Michael Pelfrey
TEAMS: New York Mets
Mets starter Mike Pelfrey will have season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Tuesday. The team announced the news after Pelfrey, who is 0-0 with a 2.29 ERA in three starts this season, was examined by Dr. James Andrews on Monday. Andrews determined that Pelfrey needed the surgery despite the ligament only being partially torn. The 28-year-old was 7-13 with a 4.74 ERA 33 starts last season for the Mets. His best season came in 2010 when he went 15-9 with a 3.66 ERA. He has been on the disabled list since last Tuesday.

Is This the End of Mike Pelfrey’s Tenure with the Mets?

Via Mets Merized Online  |  April 27, 2012
As it is looking more and more like a certainty that Mike Pelfrey will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the 2012 season, it is time to wonder if the start that Pelfrey made on April 21 was the last time that we will see him in a New York Mets uniform. It seemed as if Pelfrey had figured things out through the early part of the year.  He looked good in his first three...

Mets MIke Pelfrey will be shutdown for the rest of year due to partial tear in right elbow

Mets starter Mike Pelfrey has a partial tear in his right elbow and is “99 percent” certain he will have re-constructive Tommy John surgery that will sideline him until next year. The team made the announcement about its up-until-now durable pitcher shortly after New York beat the Miami Marlins 3-2 Thursday. “Obviously, it’s frustrating,” Pelfrey said. “I’ve never...

Pelfrey: Season-ending surgery likely

Via Fox Sports  |  April 26, 2012
New York Mets pitcher Mike Pelfrey said Thursday there was a "99 percent chance" he will have season-ending surgery on his right, throwing elbow. Pelfrey, who has a partially-torn ligament in his elbow, was put on the disabled list Tuesday when an MRI showed swelling in the joint. The results were sent to orthopedist Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion, and after consulting...

After yesterday’s win over the Marlins, it was announced that Mike Pelfrey was likely to undergo elbow surgery and miss the remainder of the season. This is really bad news for the Mets, a statement I’d never thought I would say. The Pelfrey we saw in three starts this year was doing everything he needed to do to “cross the Rubicon,” as broadcaster Keith Hernandez would...

As Jason Bay and Mike Pelfrey hit the DL, Mets’ fans say so what?

Via Mets360.com  |  April 26, 2012
Just as soon as the Mets put Jason Bay (ribs) and Mike Pelfrey (elbow) on the disabled list, the Mets go ahead and win two straight games over the Miami Marlins while also ruining the Jose Reyes homecoming in the process. Everything is right in the world, correct? Not so fast. I’d like to think that the the old saying “You don’t know how much you miss something until it’s...

Mike Pelfrey’s Injury Hurt Himself As Well As The Mets

Mike Pelfrey is going to have the dreaded Tommy John Surgery. This surgery used to be the death sentence of pitchers years ago. Now it usually results in them returning in a year’s time, just as good as they were before, and sometimes even better. This injury could not have come at a worse time for Big Pelf or the Mets. It was becoming obvious that Pelfrey was not going to be here...

Mets' Pelfrey likely to have season-ending surgery

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Mike Pelfrey will almost certainly undergo season-ending Tommy John ligament-replacement surgery, the Mets announced Thursday after their 3-2 win over the Marlins.

Worst Case Scenario: Pelfrey To Have Tommy John Surgery

Via Mets Merized Online  |  April 26, 2012
We’ve just been informed that Mike Pelfrey will undergo Tommy John Surgery on his right elbow, and miss the remainder of the season. His recovery and return could be anywhere between 12 and 18 months depending on how the elbow responds and any setbacks. Pelfrey does have youth on his side which could bode well for him. Pelfrey was placed on the 15-day disabled list yesterday...

Terry Collins just announced in his post-game interview that Mike Pelfrey is going to have Tommy John surgery. This is terrible news. Mike Pelfrey has pitched very well this season. Unfortunately, Big Pelf will be out for the season. It’s not obscene to think that Big Pelf has thrown his last pitch as a New York Met. Pelfrey will visit Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham tomorrow....

The Hole Gets Deeper for New York Mets; Injuries Mounting

Via Double G Sports  |  April 25, 2012
  Injuries beginning to mount? Mike Pelfrey has now joined Jason Bay on the DL. The New York Mets seem to be stuck in a hole they can’t dig themselves out of. This is mostly due to three injuries in the past 48 hours and players who aren’t living up to their potential. Starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey’s latest injury may be the biggest blow to the Mets.  It looks like he’s...

Mets place Bay and Pelfrey on disabled list

A day that was supposed center around Jose Reyes' return to Citi Field quickly assumed a familiar plotline from Reyes' days in New York. Prior to eking out a 2-1 win over the Florida Marlins, the Mets placed two players on the disabled list with significant injuries, casting uncertainty over their roster for the next few weeks. The Mets first put Jason Bay on the DL with...

NEW YORK -- The New York Mets showed off an ability to absorb bad news throughout their three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins, capped by a walk-off win Thursday. But that success on the field didn't keep the bad news from coming off of it, as Mike Pelfrey announced after the Mets' 3-2 win Thursday, he was "99 percent" certain he would have season-ending Tommy...

The New York Mets scored nine runs, but it wasn’t enough as they dropped the series opener to the Colorado Rocies last night: Starting in place of the injured Mike Pelfrey, Chris Swinden allowed six runs — five earned — on seven hits while failing to get out of the fifth inning: “This wasn’t a good way to go out and show myself,” Schwinden told reporters following his...

The Enemy Looks Ridiculous

Well this just about brings it home, so to speak. Doesn't it? It promised to be an eventful day, but we just didn't know how eventful. We awoke to "Jose Reyes Day" with Jason Bay hitting the disabled list with a fractured rib which he accrued by flailing and missing a fly ball. This we sort of expected. But then we find out that Mike Pelfrey (the other boo twin...

About last night’s 18-9 loss

The New York Mets (11-9) were absolutely crushed by the Colorado Rockies (10-9) by the score of 18 to 9 at Coors Field in Denver last night. Chris Schwinden, taking Mike Pelfrey’s spot in the rotation, made his first big league start of the season. I don’t mean to be a downer here, but I expected Schwinden to be terrible and he was terrible. In his starts last season with the...
