Rangers' Cody Bradford to have elbow surgery after setback

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers left-hander Cody Bradford will have elbow surgery Wednesday after a setback during his rehab from a left elbow sprain that has kept him out all season.

Chris Young, the team's president of baseball operations, said Tuesday that Bradford felt something in his elbow when he resumed throwing after a recent flu bug. He then saw team physician Dr. Keith Meister, who will do the surgery.

Young said the team would have a better idea of a timeline for Bradford's recovery after the surgery, and that it would depend on the extent of the procedure.
