Rays' Jalen Beeks: Undergoing Tommy John surgery

Beeks (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery on Sept. 2, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Beeks was transferred to the 45-day injured list Wednesday with a left elbow sprain and now has to go under the knife. Beeks will more than likely miss the entire 2021 season while rehabbing although a potential return late in the year could technically still be an option. The left-hander had a 3.26 ERA while recording two holds and one save over 19.1 innings out of the bullpen.
