MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins right-hander Trevor May will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow on Wednesday, he announced via Twitter on Thursday night.
May, who suffered the injury while throwing a curveball against Team USA's Andrew McCutchen in an exhibition game at Hammond Stadium on March 8, saw Rangers team physician Keith Meister for a second opinion in Arlington on Tuesday. May was advised to undergo the season-ending surgery, and he'll have a tendon from his knee removed and used to reconstruct the UCL. The rehab process generally takes 12 months, which means he could be ready for Opening Day 2018.
