Chad Billingsley will have season-ending surgery next week to repair a partially torn flexor tendon in his right elbow.
Billingsley, who had been working his way back from Tommy John surgery on the same elbow, is hopeful he can pitch in 2015.
"I'll have spent two years of my life rehabbing, but I've got to do it," Billingsley said. "It's not as long as Tommy John rehab, they tell me, about six months, so that's good. This was my best chance to pitch next year."
