Sonny Gray Had Surgery On His Right Elbow Nick Senzel Had Shoulder Surgery



The first day of spring training in February, Sonny Gray, who was the Reds' key off-season acquisition, had soreness in his right elbow.

There were loose bodies in there, bone chips, that is common with pitchers.  It is not serious but can be annoying and change a pitcher's mechanics that causes other problems with the body,

Since Tuesday was pre-determined as his last start, Gray had arthroscopic surgery Wednesday morning.  It is not expected to impact his off season or be lingering for the start of 2020 spring training.

"We just thought it made sense to do it now," David Bell said.

Nick Senzel had shoulder surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn labrum.  His is a bit more serious with a longer recovery time.

"He's young and strong," Bell said.  "We think he can be ready to start the season."
