Wow, he could really be done for good. The Dodgers aren't saying that of course but it really could happen:
Quote:
Dodgers closer Eric Gagne will have surgery Friday to remove a nerve from his pitching elbow—his second arm operation in less than a year—leaving his season in doubt.
Dodgers trainer Stan Johnston said on a conference call Thursday night there was no immediate timetable for the return of Gagne… Johnston said Gagne told him Wednesday he had been pitching in pain all spring. The problem was diagnosed during an examination by Gambardella after that—while the Dodgers were playing the Braves in the finale of a three-game series.

The timetable really depends on what nerve it is that they are removing. They are saying it is a sensory nerve and won't effect his ability to grip a ball but you never know. Good luck to him, I can't wait to see my team force a blown save on you ASAP.
