Flame-throwing lefty reliever Luke Hagerty has been starring as the lead in a Hollywood comeback story 17 years in the making, signed by the Cubs for the second time since 2002 after a case of the yips had kept him out of competitive baseball for more than a decade. He will turn 38 on April 1, but the recent news he received was the furthest thing in the world from an April Fool’s joke.
As sources have informed Cubs Insider, Hagerty will undergo his second Tommy John surgery and will miss at least the rest of 2019.
