ARLINGTON -- Relievers Ryan O'Rourke and Trevor May both saw Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday. O'Rourke got disappointing news -- the lefty will need to undergo Tommy John surgery -- while May had a positive post-op follow-up with the orthopedist who performed his Tommy John surgery in late March.
O'Rourke was diagnosed with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow a day after he was moved to the 60-day disabled list. He was originally diagnosed with a strained flexor mass but had not progressed much since that diagnosis late in Spring Training.
