Colorado righty reliever Manuel Corpas set to have Tommy John elbow surgery

September 1, 2010 |Janie McCauley, The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO - Colorado Rockies right-handed reliever Manuel Corpas needs reconstructive Tommy John elbow surgery.

Corpas, placed on the 15-day disabled list last Friday with a sprained ligament in his right elbow, received a second opinion Tuesday from Dr. Lewis Yocum. Corpas is set for surgery next Wednesday and could be sidelined for the entire 2011 season considering the typical recovery time from Tommy John surgery is 12 to 18 months.

Corpas has dealt with elbow trouble all season. He left his outing Aug. 25 against Atlanta after he felt pain in his pitching elbow. The 27-year-old Corpas was 3-5 with a 4.62 ERA and 10 saves in 56 outings and 62 1-3 innings for the Rockies this year, his fifth big league season, all with Colorado.
