Wainwright, 29, will undergo Tommy John surgery to replace the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The typical recovery time for a starting pitcher who undergoes the operation is roughly 12-15 months.
Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan is renowned for "fixing" veteran pitchers and revitalizing careers, but McClellan appears to be the favorite. He has prepared as a starter for each of the last two seasons but has pitched exclusively in relief. He has a 7-15 record and 3.23 ERA in 202 big league appearances and 217 2/3 innings.
OMG - Big time blow, to lose a 20 game winner!
