Indians southpaw reliever Nick Hagadone was scheduled for left elbow surgery Thursday, per MLB.com. Terry Francona admitted that the procedure is "not typical."
The 29-year-old Hagadone sustained the injury in a Class A rehab game. He had experienced Tommy John surgery in 2008.
If he is indeed out for the season, as is indicated, he will end it with a 4.28 ERA and 30 hits allowed in 27 1/3 innings. He served as a primary short reliever early in the year before faltering.
