Prior to New York, Cleveland starting American League Division Series tonight in Bronx New York Jack Curry reported Scott Effross isn’t on the roster, he is requiring Tommy John Surgery for elbow.

What is Tommy John Surgery?

UCL reconstruction is a surgery commonly used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow by replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. The goal of the surgery is to stabilize the elbow, reduce or eliminate pain and restore stability and range of motion. This procedure was introduced and first performed by Frank Jobe, M.D., on baseball pitcher Tommy John in 1974—hence the colloquial name Tommy John surgery.

Following reporting Scott Effross elbow injury Jack Curry had this to say!

The loss of Effross will make an already unsettled bullpen situation a more unsettled. Effross is effective against LHB and RHB and would have been in the mix in high-leverage situations. Still trying to determine how and when he injured himself. He pitched 1 inning on Oct. 3.

The Effross injury makes Chapman's decision to miss a mandatory workout more egregious. While Chapman wasn't expected to make ALDS roster, he was probably an injury away from being a very strong consideration. That injury occurred. Instead, Castro secures final bullpen spot.
