Drew Hutchison (elbow) is on track to face live hitters in about three weeks.
Hutchison is currently making his way back from Tommy John surgery last August. While the 22-year-old right-hander is unlikely to see any game action until late in the season, he feels good about his progress. "You always want to do more but you know you have to follow the process and do what they tell you to do because that’s what’s in your best interest," said Hutchison. "I feel good, which is good, but you also realize that it’s the process and you need to follow the process." May 8 - 9:13 AM

Blue Jays placed RHP Drew Hutchison on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury.

Drew Hutchison (elbow) will throw off a mound next Monday.

It will be his first time on the bump since undergoing Tommy John surgery last August. Hutchison will throw 15 pitches, repeating the process twice a week as he builds up arm strength. The young righty won't be ready to appear in games until the second half.
Mar 21 - 6:52 PM

Drew Hutchison (elbow) hopes to throw off a mound by the end of March.

Feb 19 - 10:32 AM

Drew Hutchison (elbow) will require Tommy John surgery.

Hutchison was attempting to rehab a sprained ulnar collateral ligament, but recently suffered a setback and was sent to go see Dr. James Andrews. It's a tough break for the 21-year-old right-hander, who will now be sidelined for most of the 2013 campaign.

Drew Hutchison (elbow) began a throwing program Friday.

Hutichison, who is currently making his way back from sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, made 30 throws from a distance of 45 feet. He'll throw two out of every three days for now as he increases his workload. While he's moving in the right direction, the Jays aren't counting on anything from him before the end of the year.

Drew Hutchison (elbow) will resume throwing Friday.

Hutchison has been out for over a month with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. That type of injury often leads to Tommy John surgery, but the young right-hander has opted for a rehab program instead. He's doubtful to return to the Blue Jays by the end of 2012.
Wed, Jul 25, 2012 04:23:00 PM

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Friday that Drew Hutchison (elbow) is expected to resume throwing around July 23.

Hutchison has been sidelined for nearly a month with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. It will be tough to map out any sort of timetable for his return until he starts increasing his workload. He's iffy to return in 2012.

Blue Jays transferred RHP Drew Hutchison from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move clears a spot for Scott Richmond on the active roster. Hutchison was recently diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and won't resuming throwing for 4-6 weeks.

Drew Hutchison (elbow) has been shut down for the next 4-6 weeks.

Hutchison was recently diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, but he'll attempt to rehab the injury rather than undergo Tommy John surgery. Either way, his return to the Blue Jays isn't considered imminent.

Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star writes that surgery on Drew Hutchison's right elbow is a "strong possibility."

A second opinion from Dr. Timothy Kremchek has confirmed the original diagnosis of a sprained ulnar collateral ligament. The problem, though, is that the ligament could become worse during exercise and rehab, and Hutchison would wind up going under the knife months from now. "That's probably the scenarios that he's walking through, once the information is collected," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said. "To best determine what to do next. I'm not saying that's completely ruled out, but at this point he probably needs a day or two to work through on his own behalf and certainly discussing things with his family."

Drew Hutchison (elbow) will be shut down for two weeks before beginning his rehabilitation program.

Initial tests showed no tear to Hutchison's UCL, but he's expected to seek a second opinion for precautionary purposes next week. Hutchison won't be ready to return when first eligible and seems unlikely to return before the All-Star break.

Blue Jays placed RHP Drew Hutchison on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

The severity of the injury isn't yet known, but Hutchison is likely looking at an extended absence. The Blue Jays are now without Hutchison, Kyle Drabek, and Brandon Morrow in their starting rotation. Robert Coello has been recalled in a corresponding move.

Drew Hutchison will undergo tests on his right elbow Saturday.

Hutchison left Friday's start against the Phillies in the first inning due to right elbow soreness. While the severity of the injury isn't yet known, the young right-hander apparently heard a "pop" sound. It looks like the Jays will have to dig down deep for yet another replacement in their starting rotation.
