1. Didn’t know he needed Tommy John surgery. Hope he has a good recovery and can contribute somewhere in the future.

2. Where in god’s name did this come from?

3. Tommy John outta nowhere

4. AA really out here doing surgery on our pitchers just to open up 40 man spots.

5. That could explain some things…

6. Ynoa has clearly been jumped by Elder and Muller. Shuster is probably close to jumping him too. Maybe he could settle into being a really nice BP piece after he recovers, but Huascar is dangerously close to the edge of the 40-man IMO. Crazy after how integral he was at the beginning of last season.

7. What’s the drs BA?

8. With it being this late in the season does that take him out till 2024?

9. I had no idea. Prayers for a good recovery.

10. The last time I thought about Ynoa was when I saw him in person walking to the bullpen in Fenway park.

11. Mister Meister

12. I think Ynoa is pretty much done here. Hopefully he can revive his career somewhere. Just never the same since he punched that wall

13. I hope the best for the guy but he was seriously a discount strider. Fastball and slider pitcher only minus the velo strider brings to the table.

14. Didn’t even know he was hurt
