The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Peter Moylan might require reconstructive elbow surgery. If so, he’ll miss the rest of the season, but the Braves are going to wait two weeks to determine if it’s necessary. Moylan has a bone spur pressing against the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow, which has “compromised” the ligament. The Braves hope that with rehab he’ll be able to avoid the knife, but it seems unlikely. There’s a small chance he won’t need Tommy John surgery, but even then he’d likely miss a significant amount of time. Manny Acosta will get the first chance at closing games with Moylan and Rafael Soriano out, but the Braves may use a closer-by-committee system as well. (Rotoworld, Rotowire)
