Reds right-hander Edinson Volquez is expected to miss the rest of this season and the first half of next year, too, after having reconstructive elbow surgery Monday, another major setback for fading Cincinnati.
Volquez had surgery to replace a torn ligament and repair other damage in his right elbow, which has sidelined him for the last two months. The typical recovery time is 12 months. ESPN
This sucks on so many levels for the Reds. The first is that he is the stud of the the Reds pitching staff and not only do they lose him for the second half of this year, but the whole first half of next year. With this happening the Reds who already have a slim chance to making the play-offs, are pretty much guaranteed that fate now.
