Dodger Disaster - Gagne May Need 2nd TJ Surgery

According to early reports, Dodgers closer Eric Gagne has sprained his throwing elbow, and may in fact have a partial tear in the ligaments of his throwing elbow, in which case he would need a second Tommy John surgery. Obviously, this would knock him out for the entire 2005 season, and at least half of the 2006 season.

Earlier this week, the Dodgers and Gagne had expressed surprise that Gagne's elbow could be injured, and reiterated their belief that Gagne had completely rehabbed the elbow injury he suffered in spring training.

Obviously, a devastating blow to the LA Dodgers, and for baseball, if Gagne cannot continue to perform at such a high level.
