MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco: The Yankees received some unfortunate news yesterday afternoon, as it was revealed that Zack Britton had undergone UCL reconstruction surgery. It is essentially Tommy John surgery, and puts his 2022 season in doubt. This came as quite a surprise, as it was initially reported that Britton needed surgery only to remove additional bone chips in the elbow.
It’s been a lost season for the lefty reliever, whose club option for 2022 was picked up by the Yankees early last offseason. He began the season on the IL after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips in his throwing elbow.
