Nationals' Mitchell Parker Likely Needs Tommy John Surgery After Grade 3 UCL Sprain
By
Darragh McDonald
Summary
Washington Nationals left-hander Mitchell Parker has been placed on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation, but manager Blake Butera revealed the injury is far more serious — a Grade 3 sprain of his ulnar collateral ligament. Parker will most likely require Tommy John surgery, which typically sidelines pitchers for 12-18 months. He is expected to be transferred to the 60-day IL when the Nationals need his roster spot.
