Cosart has bone spurs removed from elbow
Jarred Cosart gets injured while covering first base and exits the game in the top of the 4th inningSAN DIEGO -- Jarred Cosart underwent successful surgery to clean up his right elbow, and the Padres remain hopeful that the 26-year-old right-hander will be fully recovered by the start of Spring Training.
Cosart had a bone spur in his pitching elbow, which forced him to miss the final two starts of the season. His surgery -- performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Wednesday -- removed the loose bodies in the area.
His recovery is expected to last six weeks, which should give Cosart time to return to full strength before Spring Training.
