Joel Hanrahan was upbeat after undergoing successful surgery to repair a torn right flexor tendon, as well as Tommy John surgery on Thursday and is anxious to begin his rehab.

Hanrahan will be in a cast for ten days, but will be ready to start the recovery process on day 11. Regardless of how quickly he begins the recovery process, he's looking at a 12-to-14 month timetable for his return. Hanrahan, who is a free agent after the season, is a long way away from having any tangible fantasy value.

Joel Hanrahan underwent Tommy John surgery in addition to flexor tendon surgery on his right elbow Thursday.

He also had bone spurs removed from the elbow. The flexor tendon repair was expected, but the hope is that Hanrahan wouldn't need Tommy John. As it is, he'll now be sidelined well into the 2014 season. Hanrahan is slated for free agency this winter.

Joel Hanrahan (elbow) will undergo season-ending surgery.

Hanrahan was hoping to rehab the injury, but the damage is extensive and needs to be surgically repaired. As of now, he's expected to visit with Dr. James Andrews next week to have the procedure done. Hanrahan, 31, is very unlikely to be back with the Red Sox and is set to become a free agent in 2014.

Joel Hanrahan was diagnosed with damage to the flexor tendon in his right elbow.

The flexor tendon is what protects the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. Hanrahan has yet to decide whether he will rest and rehab the injury or undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery. Either way, he is facing an extended absence.

The Red Sox have sent the MRI on Joel Hanrahan's forearm to specialists Dr. James Andrews and Dr. David Altchek.

Hanrahan is in shutdown mode until the two doctors review the MRI and get back to the team, at which point a rehab scheduled will be formulated. The reliever is expected to be on the shelf for a while.

Red Sox placed RHP Joel Hanrahan on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain.

With both Hanrahan and Andrew Bailey now on the disabled list, the Red Sox are expected to use Junichi Tazawa as their primary ninth-inning man. Hanrahan could be on the shelf for a while -- definitely longer than 15 days.
