Tigers' Drew VerHagen: To undergo thoracic outlet surgery

VerHagen will undergo season-ending thoracic outlet surgery, Katie Strang of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

VerHagen was expected to make a return in August, but his injury turned out to be more serious. Recovery periods from this type of surgery can range anywhere from 1-to-6 months, so VerHagen should be ready for spring training next season if there are no complications.
