The Mets provided a medical update on outfielder Tyrone Taylor today, outlining two minor medical procedures that occurred between the end of the season and today.
Tyrone Taylor underwent an umbilical hernia repair on October 30 with Dr. Venkata Evani in Phoenix, AZ. He also underwent a right elbow loose body removal yesterday with Dr. James Carr in New York. The average return to play timelines for these procedures is approximately two months.
Since Taylor was able to fly across the country just eight days after his hernia surgery, it is clear that the first procedure wasn’t so serious that he couldn’t travel shortly thereafter.
