Mets' Brooks Raley: Slated for Tommy John surgery

Raley (elbow) is scheduled to undergo season-ending Tommy John next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Raley was diagnosed with a strained UCL in his left elbow last Wednesday, and although manager Carlos Mendoza had said the lefty's UCL was healing, Raley will elect to undergo season-ending surgery. The 35-year-old will finish the season with a 9:3 K:BB across seven scoreless innings. Given the timing of his surgery, Raley is likely to remain sidelined through the first half of the 2025 season.
