Cain needs surgery, likely done for the season

Yielding to a unanimous decision from a panel of medical experts, Giants right-hander Matt Cain almost surely will undergo surgery to have bone chips and spurs removed from his throwing elbow. Given the minimum recovery time for such a procedure, which is around three months, the surgery will end Cain’s 2014 season. However, he said Friday that he hasn’t decided when he’ll have the operation.
