Then all of a sudden feels pain and needs surgery

Yes, his tendon tore this time. He has flat armed mechanics (they have been working on correcting it) , he has a small frame, he throws with a high velocity, and he has an unreal spin rate. All of these combined make him predisposed for an elbow injury. It was almost a when, not if, situation.

Having surgery now vs 6 months ago has no bearing on this season. He would have been out for this year anyway, and he will probably go in the top 2 rounds of the draft either way.
