Fans of the San Diego Padres woke up to some good news on the injury front Saturday morning, as Jarred Cosart‘s elbow surgery was a success. As expected, it appears that the 26-year-old will not miss any time in 2017.
Despite the good news, it will still be a lengthy road to recovery for Cosart. The 38th round draft pick of the Philadelphia Phillies will need at least six weeks to return to full baseball activity, doctors say.
Last July, Cosart was traded to the Padres in a trade with the Miami Marlins.
