Green underwent surgery to reconstruct the UCL in his right elbow Friday. The surgery was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Arlington, Texas. Green will likely be out of action for 12-18 months in order to recover. He ends 2022 with a 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB while logging a save, three holds, three blown saves and a 1-1 record across 14 relief appearances.

Green (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday. The Yankees announced last weekend that Green will require Tommy John surgery, so his move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. The right-hander had posted a 3.00 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 15 innings over 14 relief appearances prior to his injury, but he'll miss the remainder of 2022 and likely the majority of the 2023 season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Green (elbow) will soon undergo Tommy John surgery, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports. Even if the procedure to repair the torn ligament in Green's elbow goes smoothly, he'll still miss the remainder of the 2022 season and likely the majority of the 2023 campaign while rehabbing and recovering from surgery. After collecting 19 holds and striking out 99 over 83.2 innings in 2021, Green had fallen down a rung or two in the Yankees' late-inning hierarchy in 2022 with Clay Holmes and Michael King capturing more prominent roles in the bullpen. Green was still effective before suffering the elbow injury, turning in a 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB across 15 innings while nabbing three holds and one save.

Green was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow strain Saturday. Green's injury is feared to be significant, so it's not very surprising to see him land on the injured list now that he's been diagnosed with an elbow strain. The right-hander is still receiving medical opinions, but manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that surgery is being considered, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. Ron Marinaccio was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to provide an additional arm in the bullpen.

Green's forearm injury is feared to be a significant one, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports. Green exited Thursday's game against Baltimore with what has so far been called right forearm discomfort, but forearm issues can sometimes be the first sign of an injury which will require a very lengthy absence and possibly even Tommy John surgery. It looks as though the Yankees fear that Green's could be in that category, but the righty will need to go through further tests before a clearer diagnosis emerges.
