Juan Padilla to undergo surgery

UPDATE
J.B. Cox had a different type of surgery, and rotoworld says Juan Padilla could still come back later this season and help out the Mets.
~I still think he's done for the season he's thrown what 1 inning that was during spring in whats going to be by the time he should be back in 2 years. See you in spring training Juan.

From Mets press release
"The New York Mets announced today that right-handed pitcher Juan Padilla will undergo surgery on his right elbow tomorrow to repair a partial tear of his flexor tendon. The operation will be performed at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan."

Well not much to say except this is blow to the bullpen because he was expected back soon to take some of the load off of Heilman. Yankees minor leaguer J.B. Cox just had the same surgery and he will be out for 8 months so don't expect Padilla back any time soon. How many more days until Mota is off suspension?
