Tom Glavine received some good news on Wednesday…if you can call a torn flexor tendon in his left elbow “good news.” Glavine will not need Tommy John surgery, but will need to have surgery to repair his tendon, which usually requires approximately five months of rehab, instead of the minimum of 12 months of rehab required with Tommy John surgery. Glavine had previously said that had he needed Tommy John surgery, that he would most likely retire. The lesser surgery will give Glavine time to rehab and then decide if he wants to pitch for one more season with the Braves.
