Houston starters Urquidy and Javier both scheduled to have right elbow surgery, possibly Tommy John

Associated Press  

HOUSTON — Houston starters Cristian Javier and José Urquidy are both scheduled to have right elbow surgery, a big blow to an Astros team trying to rebound after a terrible start to the season. “We’re not sure to the extent of it, but Tommy John is certainly a possibility talking with both of them.” Both players will miss the entire season and would miss part of next season if Tommy John surgery is needed, with the typical recovery from the ulnar collateral ligament replacement surgery taking 12-18 months. “Losing Urquidy and Javier is tough, but thank God, we have the young kids stepping up and they’re starting to throw the ball well,” Brown said. ___ This story has been corrected to show that the elbow surgery Javier and Urquidy are both facing might not be Tommy John surgery.
