6 years agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Jacob Nix (elbow) has elected to rehab instead of undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery after an MRI exam showed a small ulnar collateral ligament tear in his elbow. The good news is that Nix's velocity had been up even as he was feeling tightness in his elbow that led to the initial shutdown. The 23-year-old right-hander had a rough 7.02 ERA in nine starts with the Friars in his first taste of the majors last year, but he posted a 1.84 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 6.8 K/9 in 10 starts over two minor league levels in 2018. He could give the Padres some much-needed rotation depth later this year.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
