Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Friday that Chace will undergo Tommy John surgery, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Chace made six starts with Double-A Reading this season before blowing out his elbow, collecting a 3.24 ERA and 19:12 K:BB over 16.2 innings. The 21-year-old will likely be sidelined until around midseason next year.

The Phillies optioned Chace to Double-A Reading on Saturday.
Chace was promoted to Double-A shortly after being acquired from Baltimore in the Gregory Soto trade. The 21-year-old righty will now officially return to Reading to open 2025 in its rotation, and he'll likely be a candidate for a promotion to Triple-A Lehigh Valley before the end of the year.

Rotowire
The Phillies selected Chace's contract from Double-A Reading on Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Chace was acquired from the Orioles at the trade deadline in the deal that sent Gregory Soto to Baltimore. He's just 21 and has struggled to throw strikes with a career 14.5 percent walk rate, but Chace's 31.6 percent strikeout rate points to his upside.
