Dodgers: LHP Darien Nunez Will Reportedly Need Tommy John Surgery

The Dodgers are going to have one of the deepest bullpens in baseball this year. When the roster crunch comes at the beginning of May, there are already a few tough decisions that will need to be made. It gets even more difficult when you factor in the returns of Tommy Kahnle and Caleb Ferguson.

But Darien Nunez will apparently not be a part of that bullpen in 2022. The Dodgers southpaw will reportedly need to undergo Tommy John surgery, likely to repair a torn or partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his arm. That would put Nunes out until at least May of 2023, though it’s more likely that he would return to action that Summer.
