NEW YORK -- New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom will undergo season-ending surgery later this week to address a nerve issue in his pitching elbow.
Doctors will move the ulnar nerve, which had been causing intermittent elbow discomfort as well as finger numbness.
DeGrom expects a three-month recovery time from the procedure and to be ready for spring training. He consulted with Hall of Famer John Smoltz, who underwent the same procedure during his playing career.
