What I know is in the tool. If it doesn’t specifically say what procedure was done, then I don’t know what it is and shouldn’t be assumed to be debridement. When I mention debridement it’s because somewhere in my research it specifically mentioned that it was a debridement and same for all the other procedures.
Hopefully, I can get better detail but it’s hard because many times it’s not specifically reported.
For those of you who haven't listened to the last podcast first of all you should, but my topic was selective streaming. To follow up with that advice I wanted to start giving regular updates on whom to target for streaming.

In his first eight starts this year Max Scherzer posted such poor numbers that he was sent down to AAA to work on his mechanics. His fastball had lost something and a break from the majors was in order, at least, that was the party line from the Tigers. And in this case it appears to have been correct. Scherzer's average fast ball before being sent d […]
Like many, I'm a sucker for the oddities of baseball. Give me a highlight real of balks and inside the park home runs over grand slams and strikeouts any day. That's why, when I heard about Roy Oswalt's game last night I found all the video I could about it. To recap, in the 14th inning of a tie game Ryan Howard was ejected for arguing a ch […]
The DL Tool is a fantastic resource! Thanks for creating it and putting in the time to keep it updated.
In the case of rotator cuff and labrum procedures, should the assumption be debridement if repair is not specified?
Thanks. I’m glad you like it.
