Indians' Ethan Hankins: Recovering from Tommy John surgery

Hankins underwent Tommy John surgery in May, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

The 21-year-old right-hander is listed as being at Double-A Akron, and he will likely head to High-A or Double-A when he is fully recovered sometime next summer. Given the timing of the surgery, Hankins may not be back in game action until July or August of 2022.
