Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah has had his UCL surgery and will begin rehabbing with the team in the coming days, according to Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi.
Manoah, 26, last pitched on May 29 in Chicago, giving up a lone hit in 1.2 innings of work before experiencing a pinching sensation in his right elbow that forced him to leave the game.
An MRI eventually determined the need for surgery, effectively ending his season.
The plan for surgery was a hybrid Tommy John procedure performed by Dr. Keith Meister that replaced the ulnar collateral ligament and anchors the new one with an internal brace suture.
Manoah will be out well into next year, with his timetable set for 12-14 months.
