Well, here’s a Friday news dump if ever there was one.
Jimmy Cordero, who pitched in half of the 60 White Sox games in the shortened 2020 season, had sufficient damage to his elbow that it required Tommy John surgery.
Multiple beat reporters said the surgery was successfully performed by Dr. James Andrews yesterday in Gulf Breeze, Fla.
An optimistic take on his prognosis would have Cordero ready to flex his biceps again for the White Sox next spring — but even his superhuman right arm will not recover in time to pitch in the 2021 season.
