Dustin Ackley Recovering From Tommy John Surgery
Posted Aug 20, 2008
North Carolina first baseman Dustin Ackley, who left the Cape Cod League after batting .415/.586/.707 in 12 games for Harwich, had Tommy John surgery on his right (throwing) elbow, UNC has confirmed. Ackley, one of the top prospects for the 2009 draft, is expected to recover in time for the start of the season. The surgery should remedy throwing woes that have plagued Ackley since he arrived at North Carolina.
