Joe Nathan has a tear in the ligament in his elbow.  He is going to rest for now and try to avoid surgery, but that is a possibility.

Analysis: 

This is HUGE news for Nathan. There is a decent chance that he won’t pitch at all in 2010. He will rest for a couple weeks and then see how it goes with the elbow. Jon Rauch and Matt Guerrier are logical candidates to close for the Twins.
