Orioles pitcher John Means announced on Saturday that he will undergo Tommy John surgery after going through multiple MRIs to confirm.
“I’m obviously disappointed, but more motivated than ever,” Means said. “... I’m looking forward to watching what this team can do this year. I’ll be back. Go O’s.”
Means’s MRIs came after he experienced some tightness in his left forearm during a game against the Brewers on April 13. The day after the game, the team placed him on the 10-day injured list with a left elbow strain.
Means was the starting pitcher for Baltimore on Opening Day against Tampa Bay.
