Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright has what the team is describing as a "significant" elbow injury and has returned to St. Louis to be checked out by team doctors. General manager John Mozeliak told reporters in Jupiter, Fla., that the early prognosis is "not encouraging." Wainwright felt a tug in his elbow while throwing batting practice Monday, according to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Post-Dispatch reported Tommy John surgery is one possibility to fix the injury Wainwright is being checked for, indicating the team believes he may have torn the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow.
Wainwright already has had the procedure once, in 2004 while he was in the minor leagues, but rebounded to become one of the game's most dominant starters. The 29-year-old finished second to Roy Halladay in NL Cy Young voting last year after going 20-11 with a 2.42 ERA in 33 starts. He skipped his final start of the regular season with elbow discomfort but a checkup in November revealed no structural damage.
