Dr. Ramos & Zach Bye Discuss Rockies Chase Dollander | Injury Insights
"Alright, Dr. Ramos. Former top-10 draft pick Chase Dollander has been transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. According to manager Warren Schaeffer, it appears Dollander is headed for UCL surgery."
Listen as Dr. Joe Ramos explains exactly what the UCL is, why Dollander is likely bound for Tommy John surgery, and the tremendous amount of stress Major League pitchers place on their arms with every throw.
Dr. Ramos also notes that while Dollander could be sidelined for as long as 18 months, many athletes who undergo Tommy John surgery are able to return to competition at the same level—or in some cases, even better than before.
