    Texas Rangers right-hander Colby Lewis will miss the remainder of the season and will have surgery this week to repair a torn flexor tendon in his right elbow.

    Lewis said doctors told him it could be nine to 12 months before he's 100 percent healthy and ready to pitch in the big leagues again.

I don't know any other words to really say it."
