Cursed pitcher breaks elbow right after Tommy John recovery

Braves right-hander Dan Winkler has broken his elbow throwing a pitch against St. Louis.

After missing most of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Winkler threw a pitch behind Randal Grichuk in the seventh inning Sunday and immediately left the mound, holding his right arm to his chest.

Winkler went down to his knees after crossing the first base line in front of the Braves' dugout and was then assisted to the bench.

The Braves say Winkler is out indefinitely.

Winkler spent most of the 2015 season on the disabled list after having elbow surgery in July 2014.
