Recommendation: Luebke took a couple weeks to make a final call on the procedure after injuring his elbow in early May, but with the team expecting him to return no earlier than mid-August at this point - and the threat of re-injury still present - he ultimately decided to go under the knife and end his current campaign. Luebke, who will undergo the procedure Wednesday, is hoping to be ready to pitch by early next season. However, since recovery from Tommy John surgery usually takes about a year, it remains to be seen just how much time he will miss at the beginning of next season.
