According to MLB.com, a recent MRI showed more damage to his UCL.  Team Drs have recommended surgery for him.  If he has the surgery, he will likely not return to the field until 2020.

This was spoken of IIRC before he was even offered up by Japan.  Hoping he makes a strong recovery.  He's a great story.

You're absolutely right, Brett.  He is a great story.  He might make it to the field as a hitter next year, but his pitching will have to wait.

He won't pitch again until 2020, but he should be able to DH next year.
