ATLANTA (AP) - Chris Carpenter, the 2005 NL Cy Young winner, will miss the rest of the season and part of next year after he undergoes elbow ligament replacement surgery next week.
Carpenter hasn't pitched since allowing five runs in six innings of a season-opening loss to the New York Mets.
The right-hander, who went on the disabled list April 2, had arthroscopic surgery to remove bone spurs in his elbow on May 9. He developed swelling and stiffness after a rehab start for Class-A Palm Beach on July 8.
