Athletics' Devine has season-ending surgery

Baseball Betting Lines

04/21/2009 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oakland Athletics reliever Joey Devine underwent elbow surgery Tuesday that will end his 2009 season before it begins.

Devine, expected to at least share the closer's role this season, was placed on the 60-day disabled list to start the season after missing a good deal of the spring with right elbow soreness. He was originally diagnosed with a sprain, but visited Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Alabama and it was decided surgery was the best option.

Andrews performed the surgery, which addressed the right-hander's ulnar collateral ligament. It wasn't immediately clear whether the ligament was repaired or replaced. A repair would conceivably have the 25-year-old ready for spring training but a replacement, more commonly referred to as "Tommy John" surgery, would put his start to next season in doubt.

Devine was 6-1 with a microscopic 0.59 earned run average in 42 appearances for Oakland last season. Over 45 2/3 innings, he had 49 strikeouts to just 15 walks.
