Player Notes
May 16, 2008
Chris Capuano underwent a successful second Tommy John surgery Thursday after an exploratory procedure revealed a complete tear of the ulnar collateral ligament, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
May 13, 2008
Chris Capuano will likely have to undergo a second Tommy John surgery on his injured elbow, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He previously had the surgery in 2002.
April 24, 2008
Chris Capuano still hopes to avoid surgery on his pitching elbow and he has begun a throwing program to attempt to do just that, according to MLB.com. "The feeling of the therapist was [the possible need for surgery] won't surface until he goes through his throwing program," assistant GM Gord Ash said.

Chris Capuano will try rehab on his ailing elbow before considering Tommy John surgery, according to ESPN.com. He has been placed on the 15-day DL Thursday, retroactive to March 21, and will try rehabbing his left elbow for the next three to four weeks. The decision came after Capuano visited with Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday and underwent a second MRI. Andrews performed Capuano's first elbow ligament replacement procedure in 2002. Capuano was informed Sunday that he has a torn ligament in his pitching elbow and would probably need Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career. He hopes to play again this season if the rehab works.
March 23, 2008
Chris Capuano's injury is worse than believed, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The inflammation that he was suffering with turned out to be a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow, and he could miss significant time. He may also need his second Tommy John surgery.
March 20, 2008
Chris Capuano had an MRI on his elbow on Thursday morning, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Capuano felt pain in his left elbow, which forced him to leave his start on Monday. The team is calling his elbow ailment soreness and inflammation. Capuano will be examined by team physician William Raasch on Saturday, and he is not expected to pitch before that. He had a rough spring overall, and his chances to lock up a rotation spot are dwindling.
March 19, 2008
Chris Capuano is considered day-to-day due to inflammation in his left elbow. He is expected to miss at least one spring start. "We'll see how he reacts to it, and go from there," Yost tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "He's not throwing today and he's not throwing tomorrow." Capuano has not been ruled out of making the rotation.
March 18, 2008
Chris Capuano is expected to miss at least one start after leaving Monday's game with tenderness in his elbow, this according to the team website. The Brewers left-hander, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2002, told the media on Monday he just wasn't sure how serious the elbow ailment was - but he didn't believe it was a ligament injury.
March 7, 2008
Chris Capuano 's performance against the Rangers on Friday make skipper Ned Yost lift his arm and pinched his nose between his fingers, this according to the team website. Yost told the media on Friday it's getting to the time when Capuano and right-hander Dave Bush need to act like they are in a fight for a starting spot in the rotation. Bush surrendered five runs, only three of them earned, in three innings of work against the Rangers on Wednesday in an outing that included a four-run inning. Capuano surrendered six runs in third inning alone on Friday vs. the Rangers. At one point six straight batters reached safely including Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton, who hit a grand slam. "Their next outings are going to be important," Yost said. "We need to see them starting to get back into what they naturally do best." At this point neither pitcher is worthy of anything more than reserve status in NL-only formats.
March 1, 2008
Pitching coach Mike Maddux told Fox Sports that left-hander Chris Capuano has the eye of the tiger this spring. "I think he really wants to silence the critics," Maddux said. "No doubt about that." Capuano began the 2007 campaign with a 5-0 record and 2.31 ERA. Capuano followed his hot start by never winning another game, going 0-12 with a 6.08 ERA in 18 starts. He was eventually taken out of the rotation and sent to the pen. Capuano recorded 18 victories in 2005, and then made the National League All-Star team the following season. Believing those two achievements are aberrations isn't logical. Look for the Brewers left-hander to earn a spot in the rotation and have a bounce back season.
February 17, 2008
Chris Capuano is throwing without problems, but he won't swing a bat for a few more weeks. He had offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right (non-throwing) shoulder. "I'll just be doing bunting for the first couple of weeks," Capuano tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Capuano needs to earn a rotation spot following a dismal 2007 season, but his bat won't factor into whether or not he wins a job.
January 18, 2008
The Brewers signed Chris Capuano to a one-year, $3.75 million deal Thursday, avoiding arbitration. Capuano suffered through a terrible 2007 season, going 5-12 with a 5.10 ERA in 150 innings. He had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder but is expected to return from rehab in time for spring training.
