Back in 2019, Phillies’ stud reliever Seranthony Dominguez tore his UCL in his elbow. He was sidelined for the last four months of that season, and carried the injury into the offseason. After finally realizing that the reliever needs Tommy John surgery in March 2020, there was some mystery set back. Seranthony returned to the United States to receive this surgery earlier this year, but never ended up getting it done.
However, reports have now circulated as to why Dominguez’s surgery was so delayed. Given the circumstances, the Phillies remain optimistic that Seranthony could become a regular reliever for the team in 2021.
