Bernero out for season
Recent minor league free agent pickup and non-roster invitee Adam Bernero underwent Tommy John Surgery this morning, performed by Dr. James Andrews. Bernero had experienced discomfort in his elbow earlier in the week and received the prognosis from Andrews on Wednesday. He is now expected to miss the entire 2007 season. When he signed with the organization in November, Bernero was expected to vie for a spot in the PawSox starting rotation after demonstrating some success at AAA and a few big league spot starts in 2006.
