A's manager Mark Kotsay said Medina (right elbow strain) would undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery with Dr. Keith Meister on Aug. 6. Medina was transferred to the 60-day IL on Aug. 2.
Medina had a 2-4 record and a 5.18 ERA over eight starts. Based on the general timeframe for Tommy John surgery, Medina could be looking at missing all or most of next year as well. It's a tough blow for a young pitcher that the A's were hoping could be a part of their rebuild. (Last updated: Aug. 2)
