Yankees’ Chase Hampton ‘at peace’ after season-ending Tommy John surgery
NY Post
TAMPA — Chase Hampton found the silver lining of what could have been a crushing diagnosis: It was a diagnosis with no wiggle room.
There was no mystery this time.
Hampton, who had suffered several partial tears to his right UCL, felt discomfort again following a bullpen session early in camp.
He had fully torn the ligament — a development that generated a bit of a sense of relief.
“I was kind of hoping it was torn, honestly,” Hampton said Tuesday, four days after Tommy John surgery, while wearing a brace in the Yankees clubhouse. “I mean, I was dealing with it for a while. I’ve had three partial tears in it, so I was just hoping that it was time to have [the surgery].
“So before I even found out, I was kind of at peace with it.”
