GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- A's right-hander Jarrod Parker will undergo elbow surgery on April 1, and only then will the team learn the extent of his injury and how it will affect his future.

Parker's first simulated game was cut short last week when he experienced pain in his elbow, and an MRI revealed a repeat fracture to the medial epicondyle, the same injury he suffered in May while rehabbing from his second Tommy John surgery.

It's unclear if a third reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament would be involved.
