Anyone that watched soon to be 29-year-old Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius one-hop the baseball across the diamond during Game 2 of last years ALDS, knew something was wrong with his arm.
Soon after being eliminated from the Postseason by the eventual World Champion Red Sox, it was revealed that Didi Gregorius had sustained a torn ulnar collateral ligament that would require the dreaded Tommy John surgery.
Although not quite as worrisome for a position player, as compared to a pitcher, the operation famously named after the underrated left-hander that spent eight years with the Yanks — TJ was the same procedure Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager underwent last May.
