Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Jared Jones will undergo surgery on his right elbow Wednesday and is expected to miss the remainder of the season, the team announced.
Jones, who was slated to be the team's No. 2 starter this season, has been on the injury list with a UCL sprain in his right elbow. His recovery was trending in the right direction before a setback last week.
Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Jones visited elbow surgeon Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday and made the decision to proceed with the surgery.
