John Means of the Baltimore Orioles will undergo Tommy John Surgery, TC Zencka, and Anthony Franco of MLBTradeRumors.com reports.
John Means himself reported this on Twitter.com Saturday morning. This result was not all that unexpected once Means was placed on the 60-day injured list. Means will miss the rest of the 2022 season, and a best-case scenario for his return might be the All-Star break in 2023.
Means is the defacto ace starting pitcher of the Orioles. Some have wondered why the O’s haven’t traded him for younger players either during the offseason or before the trade deadline the last season or two.
