Oakland A’s pitcher Andrew Triggs will undergo thoracic outlet surgery next week, the team announced Tuesday. The operation will take place on Sept. 26, and there will be more details after that point.
Triggs has been on the disabled list since the middle of May. The original diagnosis was nerve irritation in his arm, with one symptom being numbness in some of his fingers. His latest comeback attempt was shut down in early September after a rehab outing in the minors. Here’s a good summary of what the 29-year-old is dealing with.
