I know we were joking about his arm exploding but this takes it a little too far.

#Braves Foltynewicz had surgery to remove anterior half of his 1st rib. Will continue treatment of blood thinners for at least 6 weeks.
Same procedure that Alex Cobb had in August 2011. FWIW, Cobb returned for a full Spring Training the following year.
Did he have a rib fracture?
sounds like he had thoracic outlet syndrome
surgery is always serious, but hopefully once that's done it'll take care of the problem. most people do pretty well with it.
