Meyer (elbow) underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a tear in his UCL which will require Tommy John surgery, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Meyer exited his second major-league start Saturday due to right elbow discomfort, and the issue will ultimately force him to miss the rest of the 2022 season and most or all of next year. It's a significant blow for the highly-regarded prospect, who posted a 3.72 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 58 innings over 12 starts at Triple-A Jacksonville this year prior to making his big-league debut in mid-July.
