According to Joe Dixon, RHP Matt Sauer will have Tommy John surgery this week. Bummer. He was placed on the Low-A Charleston injured list last week and it has since been determined he needs ligament reconstruction. The Yankees have not confirmed the news, though that’s not unusual for a non-40-man roster minor leaguer. Sauer, 20, allowed three runs in 8.2 innings with the RiverDogs before the injury. The Yankees gave him $2.5M as their second round pick in 2017.
