Pitcher Ross Stripling underwent surgery this morning in Los Angeles performed Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
According to a team spokesperson, the surgery was an arthroscopic procedure to remove loose bodies from an inflamed and swollen elbow. The plan is to allow the inflammation to resolve and restore range of motion before proceeding with the Tommy John reconstruction.
Here’s what Stripling had to say about his elbow after reporting the injury to the team last Friday.
