Left-hander John Lamb has become the latest Angel to require Tommy John surgery, the club announced on Saturday.
Lamb, 27, was placed on the disabled list on Wednesday with left elbow inflammation, one day after making a start against the Red Sox in Boston in which he gave up five runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks over 1 2/3 innings. It was just his third start with the big league club after being called up on June 16. An MRI revealed the torn ulnar collateral ligament. Dr. Neal ElAttrache will perform the procedure in Los Angeles.
