Brandon Beachy’s return a success for Tommy John surgery, but not Dodgers

It's easier to make a definitive statement about Brandon Beachy's Dodgers debut from a sports medicine perspective than a baseball perspective.Beachy had pitched five major league games in three years prior to Saturday, surrounded by two Tommy John surgeries on his right elbow. The first surgery, in June 2012, needed to be revised in March 2014.
