The uncertainty surrounding his baseball future lingered in David Robertson’s mind.
Right elbow soreness derailed Robertson’s 2019 season just seven appearances into a two-year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. He tried to rehab the injury but ultimately required Tommy John surgery in August 2019 to repair his ulnar collateral ligament.
Looking back, Robertson says he should have listened to doctors and stopped trying to push through the injury in an effort to avoid surgery.
