Texas Rangers minor league pitcher Hans Crouse will have surgery on Wednesday, per the beat guys on Twitter. Crouse is having surgery on his right elbow to remove bone spurs.
We have known since the middle of the season that Crouse was going to need surgery to remove the bone spurs, and there was talk about shutting him down for the season, but he opted to pitch through it, and chose to limit his use of his slider to minimize the stress on his elbow. Crouse had a 4.41 ERA in 87.2 IP for Hickory this year.
