ANAHEIM, Calif. — Nathan Eovaldi’s season came to an end when it was discovered he had not only a slight tear to his UCL that required Tommy John surgery, but also a torn flexor tendon.
He underwent surgery for both Friday and the procedures went “as expected,” according to the Yankees.
Since the rehab time is 14-18 months for a second Tommy John surgery — as is the case for Eovaldi — the right-hander is all but certain to miss the entire 2017 season, leaving the Yankees with less starting pitching heading into next season than they had hoped.
