June 3 (UPI) — Two-time All-Star Chris Archer will not pitch until the 2021 season after he had surgery to relieve discomfort in his upper body.
The Pirates said the veteran pitcher showed symptoms neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome, a group of disorders that occur when blood vessels or nerves compress between your collarbone and your first rib.
Dr. Robert Thompson performed the surgery Tuesday at Washington University Hospital in St. Louis.
„After consulting with several leading vascular and orthopedic surgeons in recent weeks, the decision was made to undergo the procedure,“ the Pirates said.
