Chad Billingsley, aiming to recover from Tommy John surgery to repair his ulnar collateral ligament, now has a partial tear of his flexor tendon, per an examination Thursday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
Billingsley and Dr. ElAttrache are considering treatment options, according to the Dodgers’ public relations department, and further information will be released in the coming days.
The right-hander, who turns 30 on July 29, ranks 11th in Los Angeles Dodger history in adjusted ERA among pitchers with at least 1,000 innings.

So long Chad. It’s been nice knowing you.

Yes, this looks like the end for Billingsley, at least as a Dodger. I wish him luck in his baseball future. It would be nice if it is as a Dodger.
