Athletics | Duchscherer to have surgery

The Associated Press reports that Justin Duchscherer will undergo arthroscopic elbow surgery. He will likely miss the first two months of the season.
Our View: This is terrible news for Oakland, but don't tell us you didn't see it coming. The Duch was spot on last year with a 2.54 ERA in his first season as a starter. But the conversion from a set up role and the increase in innings seems to have taken a toll on his elbow.

That assignment, general manager Billy Beane conceded, will now go to someone else.

Justin Duchscherer pitched in a minor league game on Thursday but had to cut the outing short after experiencing elbow pain, according to the Associated Press.
Our View: "Needless to say, this is bad news," general manager Billy Beane said. "I can't say he'll definitely (start the season) on the DL, but it's certainly fair to say that it's likely under the circumstances." Duchscherer also stated that his arm felt worse and worse after every pitch. This situation is starting to look uglier and uglier as Opening Day approaches, and it looks like one of last year's brightest surprises will have a whole lot going against him in an attempt for a repeat performance in 2009.

Joe Stiglich, of The Oakland Tribune, reports Oakland Athletics SP Justin Duchscherer (elbow) was forced to cut short his outing Thursday, March 26, after he experienced more of the right elbow pain that has sabotaged his spring training. Stiglich speculates this latest setback all but guarantees Duchscherer starts the season on the disabled list. "He did not come out of it well," A's assistant general manager David Forst said. "He left the game with elbow soreness. We'll get together with the trainers and figure out what the next step is."

News: Athletics SP Justin Duchscherer is likely to begin the season on the disabled list after he left a minor-league game with elbow pain Thursday. Duchscherer was making his first appearance of the spring. He was scheduled to throw 35-40 pitches in a minor-league game on the A's off day, but he had to cut the outing short. "My arm still isn't right," Duchscherer told MLB.com. "I was fine warming up, but as soon as I started throwing at game speed, I knew I wasn't going to last long. It got worse on every pitch. I walked a guy and gave up two singles and a homer and just said, 'I can't pitch like this.' It's probably the most frustrated I've ever been since I started playing baseball." Assistant general manager David Forst, who was at the game at the A's minor league complex, said Duchscherer was clearly uncomfortable. "To the naked eye, it looked like it was bothering him on the last few pitches," Forst said. [...]

Shut down for two days after the cortisone shot was administered, Duchscherer played long-toss twice last week, and his Thursday workout went so well that the A's pushed his schedule up a day or two. Duchscherer's recent inactivity rules him out of the rotation for at least the first five-man turn of the regular season, and maybe the second, but Oakland manager Bob Geren has downplayed the possibility of Duchscherer starting the season on the disabled list.

Our View: Duchscherer is still a week away from appearing in an exhibition game, but he did throw his pitches at about 90 percent velocity. It has been determined that he will not start the season in the rotation, but it's possible he could land in the bullpen as a way to build up his pitch count.

If I can get the pain in my elbow to go away completely, I do not think it will take that long to be game-ready."

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that sources within the Athletics organization have suggested a move back to the bullpen for Justin Duchscherer in an effort to limit the possibility for further injury. His response? "No chance. I wouldn't do it." He is currently battling a sore elbow, but hopes to be able to start on opening day.
Our View: In 426.2 innings over the course of his major league career, Duchscherer has a 3.14 ERA. From 2004 through 2006 he excelled as a reliever in Oakland, but then injuries became more of a factor. Last season he threw a career-high 141.2 innings while making 22 starts.

Jerry Crasnick, of ESPN.com, reports Oakland Athletics SP Justin Duchscherer (elbow) is unlikely to be ready to pitch by Opening Day. He is planning on shutting himself down for the next few days in hopes that rest and medication will alleviate the pain in his elbow. Duchscherer has been given new anti-inflammatory medication and will not pick up a ball this weekend. The plan is for him to play long toss from 100 to 120 feet Monday, March 9. The worst case scenario for Duchscherer would be arthroscopic surgery which would force him to miss six weeks, but several other options will be considered before surgery.

Updating an earlier report, Justin Duchscherer is doubtful to take the hill on opening day due to his ailing elbow, according to ESPN. He will be shut down for the next few days, and is hoping rest and medication will help with the pain.
Our View: He will rest his elbow until Monday, then he intends to play long-toss from a distance of 100-120 feet. There is no major damage and Tommy John surgery is not necessary, but he may need arthroscopic surgery and a cleanup that would force him to miss around six weeks. The procedure would be a worst-case scenario. Edgar Gonzalez or Jerome Williams could replace Duchscherer in the rotation if he is not ready for the start of the season.

"I'll let you know after I hear what the doctor says," Geren said. "He hasn't been shut down."

General manager Billy Beane doesn't plan to be active in the free agent market. "We're going to look at young players to fill spots, first and foremost," Beane said, with an eye towards top prospects Brett Wallace and Chris Carter. "If those players we'd like to acquire aren't obtainable, we'll consider bringing in guys who can hold the positions down. We're going to stay disciplined and try to do everything we can to fill those spots with young players." Beane would consider re-signing Justin Duchscherer or Adam Kennedy, but will let them entertain offers on the open market first. Such a strategy would effectively squash the chances of a Miguel Tejada or Carlos Delgado landing in Oakland.
