SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- A's right-hander Jarrod Parker, on the verge of undergoing his fourth elbow surgery, says "there's no doubt" he will try to pitch again.
Addressing reporters for the first time since refracturing the medial epicondyle in his right elbow Monday, Parker spoke of his intentions to submerge himself in yet another lengthy and grueling rehab process.
"I think I've put in enough effort and I can put in more effort to continue to give myself chances," Parker said.
Parker, 27, is more than two years removed from his last big league start, a postseason outing against the Tigers that further cemented his place as one of the game's most promising pitchers.
