Dr. James Andrews, in Birmingham, Ala. on Thursday, confirmed that a bone spur had lodged into Moylan's ligament and compromised it to the point that rehab was definitely not an option.
Moylan tossed a perfect ninth inning to record a save against the Nationals on April 11 and then awoke the next morning with severe discomfort in his elbow. Two days later, Andrews advised him that this season-ending surgical procedure was a possibility.
Although he made some progress while throwing on flat ground last week, Moylan was able to throw just seven pitches when he attempted to throw off a mound on Saturday.
