Apparently he has a very stretched out and loose tendon in his foot that isn't going to be fixable by strength training alone. So season-ending surgery is the answer.
My friend Jackie actually had to have this surgery after too many ankle sprains while playing collegiate soccer. Basically, they go in and cut out a part of the tendon, then sew it back together, effectively making it shorter and tighter. It's not quick, easy or painless.
Good luck, J.J.
The "leaves you feeling better" Good News: Tomo Ohka returns to the rotation tonight.
And in order to make room on the roster for Tomo, and Ben Sheets, we optioned Zack Jackson back to AAA Nashville. Jackson started last night's game, so that didn't take long.
Lots of Brewers notes, including the Ohka start and Jackson being sent down, here.
So Ben Sheets has been gone as long as Ohka has. Tomo tore his rotator cuff. Ben has tendonitis. I guess when the guy comes back from a torn muscle, you realize you have to stop whining about your arm not feeling right and get back to work, huh Ben?
I'll reserve judgement for now, but it does seem mighty convenient. Suck it up already, Benjy.
