New York is going to be without the services of reliever Zack Britton, starter Jameson Taillon.

Zack Brittion who is a left handed reliever won’t be coming out of New York’s bullpen again until likely the end of the 2022 season!

Why?

Because he had Tommy John Surgery!

What is Tommy John Surgery?

UCL reconstruction is a surgery commonly used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow by replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. The goal of the surgery is to stabilize the elbow, reduce or eliminate pain and restore stability and range of motion. This procedure was introduced and first performed by Frank Jobe, M.D., on baseball pitcher Tommy John in 1974—hence the colloquial name Tommy John surgery.
