Diamondbacks center fielder A.J. Pollock won’t begin baseball activities for at least three months and could miss the entire season after a three-hour surgery on his fractured right elbow Tuesday.
Dr. Don Sheridan, the team’s hand specialist who performed the surgery along with Dr. Gary Waslewski, said Pollock broke through an area of bone that hadn’t fully healed from the surgery he had in 2010 for a fractured elbow. Sheridan put a plate and screws in the elbow and drilled holes in Pollock's hip and used bone matters of the hip to pack Pollock’s elbow.
“Although this is a very complex problem I am very optimistic about his return,” Sheridan said.
