For a guy staring at the end of his MLB career, Edinson Volquez had an upbeat perspective on things Friday afternoon.
The veteran has won a World Series, pitched a no-hitter and earned gobs of money. He also has a couple scars from two Tommy John surgeries, and no desire to go through a third.
But that’s what he could be facing after the Texas Rangers placed him on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right elbow.
