Description: Cory Luebke will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on his left elbow on Wednesday. | Insight: It looked like Luebke was on the cusp of fantasy greatness this season after flashing tons of potential as a rookie in 2011 (6-10, 3.29 ERA) but this injury will certainly set him back a bit. Tommy John surgery typically takes a year to recover from so don't expect to see the young lefthander in uniform for the Padres again until the middle of the 2013 season. | | |
