He is still on the team, and is expected to be back at 100% by the spring. This is for the same injury- basically they tried to let it heal without surgery, and it just didn't, so now they are doing this to try to fix it.
on both accounts. He ended up at Chipola JC and was actually less effective there- his ERA was in the 6's and he didn't pitch a lot at the end of the year- I don't know if he was hurt or if he got kicked off the team or what the deal was.
