Twins manager Rocco Baldelli announced pitcher Chris Paddack recently had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, ending his season. The Athletic’s Dan Hayes was the first to report.
On May 10, Minnesota put Paddack on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, then transferred him to the 60-day injured list just two days later.
Paddack was part of a big trade between the Padres and Twins right before the season began. San Diego sent Paddack and Emilio Pagan to Minnesota in exchange for pitcher Taylor Rogers and outfielder Brent Rooker.
