Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson will undergo season-ending surgery to remove bone spurs from his left elbow, according to MLB.com. Wilson was expected to opt for surgery by Aug. 1 but delayed the procedure while seeking a second opinion with the hope he could return this year. Wilson's long-term prognosis was not affected by his decision to delay surgery, and he is expected to make a full recovery prior to the 2016 season. Wilson finishes the season 8-8 with a 3.89 ERA in 21 starts, striking out 110 in 132.0 innings, his fewest innings since becoming a full-time starter in 2010. Wilson will turn 35 in November and has one year remaining on his contract, which will pay him $20 million. The Angels do not need to add a pitcher to the rotation because Jered Weaver came off the disabled list Aug. 9.
