Dedniel Nuñez to have Tommy John surgery

Dedniel Nuñez and the San Francisco Giants got some tough, albeit expected news to end the week. The right-handed pitcher will have to undergo Tommy John surgery following a UCL sprain in his right elbow, and he’ll miss the entirety of the upcoming season.

Gabe Kapler said Dedniel Núñez will undergo Tommy John surgery.

"It's a significant loss," Kapler said.— Jacob Rudner (@Jacob_Rudner) March 19, 2021

Nuñez suffered the sprain at the start of the week, and the team sought a second opinion before opting for surgery.
