During his appearance on 106.7 The Fan in Washington, Rizzo
said, "It looks like he is going to need Tommy John surgery. He's seen our
medical people. We're going to give him a second medical opinion. Dr. Lewis
Yocum is going to see him this week some time and we anticipate that he will
have Tommy John and if and when he does, it will be done by Lew Yocum. We'll
have a rehabilitation schedule in place the same as we've had with Jordan
Zimmermann, Stephen Strasburg and Sammy Solis and in a year he'll be a young
19-year-old guy that's come off Tommy John surgery and will begin his ascent up
the minor league system."
Giolito, the 16th overall pick in the June draft, appeared
in only one game for the Gulf Coast League Nationals before reporting soreness
in his right elbow.
