The operation was to repair the flexor tendon and remove a bone spur in McCullers’ forearm, which he injured in the first few days of spring training in February. “After the injury happened in February, Lance worked his tail off to get back on the mound,” Brown said. “This guy is a warrior and did everything in his power to get back. But each time he built himself up to an increased pitch total off the mound, the pain would come back. It’s unfortunate, but we look forward to him being back on the mound next season.”
