All Tommy John surgery comebacks are made differently, but for an infielder like Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius, a reasonable time frame for his return to the lineup is 8-10 months, multiple doctors said Friday.
The Yankees have not yet scheduled the surgery for Gregorius’ injury, in which he tore the UCL in his right elbow during the ALDS at Fenway Park, but if it is performed by the end of the month, he could potentially target playing again by June.
“For the stresses he’s going to experience compared to a pitcher, the recovery is much more predictable,” said Dr.
