Edgar Santana to have Tommy John surgery

Well, crap.

Edgar Santana will undergo Tommy John surgery, Todd Tomczyk said. He’ll miss the entire 2019 season. Tough break for a reliever who really established himself this season.

Santana finishes with a 3.26 ERA and 3.93 xFIP, numbers that may have gotten inflated a bit with some rough outings just before the elbow went. He appeared in 69 games and walked just 1.6 per nine innings.
