They theorize "bicep strain" on twitter. That would be the best case scenario.

 

Which is very painful, but is no different from a really thorough bicep workout at the gym. Might not even need a 15 day DL stint.

I hate to say it but he was afraid to move anything by the time he was walking back to the dugout. Knock me over with a feather if his season didn't just end.

 

Major surgery is a very iffy proposition for older pitchers. Lotta' miles on an older pitcher's arm. Even if you don't get the same injury, there are stresses elsewhere in the arm from throwing after the repair and rehab.

 

TJ as initially envisioned was not designed to allow pitchers to pitch at a professional level again but to allow them to lead a normal life after baseball. It was not till Tommy John started to throw for fun again that he decided to try it and the rest is history.
