Cardinals' Seth Maness to undergo Tommy John surgery

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Seth Maness is scheduled to undergo Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on Thursday.

What It Means:

Maness has been dealing with elbow issues all year, and now he can likely be ruled out for the entire 2017 season. The 27 year-old reliever has posted a 3.19 ERA in 237 1/3 career innings. This another significant loss for this beat up Cardinals team.

Maness had posted a 3.41 ERA, 4.15 xFIP and just an 11.94 strikeout percentage (league average is 20.98 percent) in 31 2/3 innings pitched this season.
