Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports that reliever Blake Hawksworth will have surgery on January 11th.
Dodgers reliever Blake Hawksworth is scheduled to undergo a minor surgical procedure Wednesday to remove scar tissue and shave down a bone spur in his right elbow.
Hawksworth is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks. He should be pitching at some point in spring training and could be on the team’s opening-day roster, according to a team spokesman.
Mike Petriello wondered whether or not he was pitching hurt.
To be frank, I had the same immediate thought.
Upon further review though, it seems to primarily be normalization.

Basically everything remains the same as far as his peripherals go except his BABIP, which was extraordinarily low in the first half.
Hawksworth is simply not as good as his first half and not as bad as his second half.
Boring but probably true.
Agreed.
He’s just an average reliever, but even that is more than enough in return for Ryan Theriot.
Erin Hawksworth was more than enough return for Theriot.
:o
Not sure if that’s a fair assessment of Theriot’s value, cuz you’d probably trade a lot of players for Erin Hawksworth, lol
You would have traded Matt Kemp for her.
Pile of shit would have been fine in that case.
I read that he initially felt soreness after starting his off-season throwing program.
This year’s program, right? Not last year’s?
Right, just in the past few weeks.
