More bad news on the pitching front: RHP Tyler Cloyd is heading for arm surgery, according to Shane Hennigan. Triple-A Scranton pitching coach Tommy Phelps seemed to indicate he needs Tommy John surgery. Cloyd isn’t great or anything, but he’s a stretched out warm body who could have come up as an emergency starter/long man.
