The type of elbow surgery that Reds starting pitcher Edinson Volquez needed on Monday was the one everyone feared.

Volquez underwent Tommy John ligament replacement surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament and torn flexor mass in his right elbow. Dr. Tim Kremchek, the Reds’ medical director, performed the 90-minute procedure. Volquez will likely miss 12 months, which wouldn’t have him pitching again until late into the 2010 season, and that’s being optimistic.

Edinson Volquez took the next step toward returning to action when he threw his third bullpen session Friday morning.

The right-hander has been on the disabled list since June 2 with right elbow tendinitis. He threw a 45-pitch bullpen session Wednesday in Los Angeles and progressed to 65 pitches Friday, mixing in changeups with fastballs. Volquez, who is 4-2 with a 4.35 ERA this season, does not have a definite timetable for his return, but he will throw a 75-pitch bullpen Monday in Cincinnati. Assuming that goes well, he will go on a rehab assignment, likely with Triple-A Louisville.

Volquez was cleared to resume throwing again, but he has to start his program over from square one. “That’s bad,” said Volquez, who is on the disabled list with right elbow tendinitis. He was examined by team medical director Dr. Tim Kremchek on Monday. Volquez will long toss on Friday from a distance of 60 feet and his progress will be monitored even closer than before by Kremchek. His throwing program was close to having him back on a mound until it was halted last week when an MRI exam revealed inflammation in the muscle where the right forearm meets the elbow.
