Yankees' Brendan Beck: Recovering from Tommy John surgery

Beck is recovering well from Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent last summer, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Beck was selected out of Stanford with the 55th overall pick in July. The surgery explains why he never pitched in a competitive game after joining the Yankees' organization. It's unclear precisely when the procedure took place, but there's a strong chance he misses all of the 2022 season unless he makes a particularly quick recovery.
