Great news for Glavine and us fans. Looks like he might come back next year but with who? Will the Braves take another chance?An examination by Dr. James Andrews determined that Tom Glavine (elbow) has no ligament damage and may be able to pitch next season.
The exam confirmed that Glavine has a partial tear in the flexor tendon in his left elbow, which will require surgery and sideline him for 4-5 months. However, Glavine previously said that he'd retire rather than undergo ligament-replacement surgery, so this qualifies as good news for the possible continuation for his career.
