April 10, 200323 yr Braves' Byrd to Have Surgery to Remove Bone Spur Team Unsure When Pitcher Will Return to Rotation .c The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA (April 9) -- Atlanta pitcher Paul Byrd will have surgery this week to remove a bone spur from the back of his right elbow, and it was not known when he would return to the Braves' rotation. Byrd, a 17-game winner with Kansas City last year, signed with the Braves as a free agent in December. He was scheduled to make his first start of the season Thursday night at Philadelphia. The 32-year-old Byrd has been on the 15-day disabled list with tendinitis in his right elbow since March 21. He is still experiencing discomfort after a rehab appearance with Double-A Greenville last Saturday. The operation will be performed Friday by Dr. Craig Morgan in Wilmington, Del. A prognosis will not be determined until the surgery is completed. Byrd was 17-11 and pitched seven complete games in 33 starts for the Royals last year. 04/09/03 18:14 EDT
