Las Vegas — How far did Thoracic Outlet Syndrome surgery set Tyson Ross back?
“I had to pretty much teach myself how to throw again,” he said, during a media teleconference Tuesday.
Ross, the 31-year-old, right-handed starting pitcher the Tigers signed Monday to a one-year, $5.75 million contract, was an All-Star with the Padres in 2014 and followed that up with another strong, 33-start season in 2015.
He was the club’s opening day starter in 2016 season, but he went down in the sixth inning with shoulder pain and didn’t pitch again that season.
