In my save, I've had many many elite pitchers have tommy john surgery in the prime of their careers. in literally every single instance, the guy went from 4+ stars to 0.5 stars by the time they came back.

i figured that if i slow played their return, did a full rehab assignment, even some time in the minors, or shorter appearances for a while to build up their pitch count that they'd eventually come back around, but literally none of them did.

has this happened to you guys where like any major pitching arm injury keeping them out like 8+ months leads to the absolute and irreversible decline of the pitcher in virtually all instances? or do you have a way to rehab them back?
