SAN DIEGO -- Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero is likely opting for potential season-ending surgery to remove a bone spur in his right elbow, Padres manager Andy Green said on Friday.
After landing on the disabled list in May, Cordero was pulled from his rehab assignment in El Paso on June 18 after feeling pain during his swing. An MRI revealed the bone spur a few days later, leaving Cordero to decide between undergoing surgery, or resting a month and then reevaluating the situation. Expected recovery time from the surgery is around 12 weeks, making a possible return by the end of the season highly unlikely.
