Jared Jones Likely to Need Tommy John Surgery
Jared Jones (elbow) is likely to need Tommy John surgery, which means he won't pitch at all this season, according to two baseball sources. Doctors told Jones that he will need the procedure and "it's all but a done deal," according to the sources. The 23-year-old will miss the rest of the year and likely all of next year as well if he has the surgery. He's currently scheduled to meet with orthopedist Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas, on Tuesday. Jones pitched 12 innings in four Grapefruit League games in spring training before being shut down with a UCL strain in his right elbow. He started playing catch in late April in hopes of returning around mid-July, but he recently suffered a setback and is now likely to have TJ surgery. Fantasy managers in single-year formats should start looking for replacements.
