Dotel opts for elbow surgery ending A's closer run
Octavio Dotel will undergo reconstructive elbow surgery after four doctors urged rehab. The Athletics closer, sidelined at least a year, says he chose surgery to end pain and regain peace of mind as he contemplates free agency and a potential switch to a setup role for rookie Huston Street next season. Dotel hopes to return mid next year, possibly with Oakland.
