Oakland Athletics’ projected 2014 Opening Day starter Jarrod Parker never had the opportunity to take the mound that April. He incurred an elbow injury during spring training that resulted in his second Tommy John surgery (TJS). Two years later, Parker still has yet to start in an MLB game since landing on the disabled list back in 2014 and he will now go under the knife once again for his third TJS next week on April 1, 2016. There is hope that this surgery will fix the damage that two elbow fractures caused this past year.
