NEW YORK -- Drew Smith underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure Friday, likely knocking the New York Mets reliever out of action until 2026.
Smith, who is slated to hit free agency after this season, last pitched June 23, when he exited after getting two outs in the ninth inning of a 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. He had trouble getting loose after being pressed into action and warming up on the field after closer Edwin Diaz was ejected for having an illegal substance on his hand.
