Minnesota RHP Scott Baker is out for the season. The impending free agent was being counted on to provide stability to Minnesota's questionable rotation, but all that ended when it was discovered that he would have to undergo surgery to repair the flexor pronator tendon in his right elbow. Baker has had problems with the tendon for the past couple of seasons but announced he could no longer pitch through the pain and opted for surgery (it's not Tommy John surgery as some media outlets have reported) after getting a second opinion on the elbow yesterday.
Baker, the team's Opening Day starter, went 8-6 with a 3.14 ERA last season.
