LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton, out since May with a bruised elbow, will have arthroscopic surgery Monday to reduce a spur on his right elbow and remove loose chips.
Dodgers trainer Stan Conte says the procedure is a minor cleanup that will allow Broxton to head into his offseason throwing program without impediment.
However, Broxton’s days with the Dodgers could be nearing an end. His rehabilitation has been slowed by setbacks to his elbow and a sore back.
Broxton pitched just 12 2-3 innings this season, when he made $7 million. He is eligible for free agency after the World Series.
