Cardinals' Ryan Helsley: Slated for knee surgery

Helsley (elbow) will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Helsley landed on the 10-day injured list last week due to a stress reaction in his right elbow, but he's unlikely to return in 2021 following his knee surgery. The right-hander made a career-high 51 appearances in 2021 and recorded a save and 10 holds with a 4.56 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 47.1 innings.
