The New York Mets‘ starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard underwent successful elbow reconstruction surgery on Thursday. This week, more precisely on Tuesday, it was announced that the talented hurler had a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow that required the Tommy John procedure.

The surgery was performed in Florida. There was a controversy because some people in the industry saw the procedure as “nonessential” and those were banned until further notice because of the coronavirus. However, Florida doctors gave the green light.

Thor will be sidelined for the whole 2020 season, if there is one, and for at least a couple pf months of next year, as well.
