Cardinals' Alex Reyes undergoes lat surgery, likely done for the year

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes underwent surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right lat muscle on Wednesday and is likely done for the season.

What It Means:

The typical recovery time for the injury is six months, effectively ending the young hurler's season. Reyes made one start this season after missing the last 16 months following Tommy John surgery. Hopefully, he can come back healthy and injury free for the start of the 2019 season.

Reyes pitched 4 innings of scoreless baseball, allowing 3 hits, 2 walks, and striking out 2 in his only appearance this season.
