OAKLAND -- Daniel Gossett has missed only a couple of starts in his professional career. So, not being able to pitch for nearly a year after undergoing Tommy John surgery on Wednesday will be foreign to him.
"This is new," he said. "It's going to be different."
Gossett became the fourth A's starter to undergo Tommy John surgery this year, joining Kendall Graveman, Jharel Cotton and A.J. Puk. Gossett said the silver lining is that he has teammates he can count on for feedback throughout the process, especially Graveman, who had the surgery the same week as Gossett.
