OAKLAND, Calif. — Cleveland Guardians reliever Trevor Stephan had season-ending Tommy John surgery and could need up to 16 months to recover. Stephan has been a dependable part of Cleveland's bullpen the past two seasons. He had his right ulnar collateral ligament repaired and a bone spur addressed. The team estimates the 28-year-old Stephan will be sidelined at least one year and up to 16 months. Stephan has appeared in 137 games the past two years, used primarily as a set-up man for closer Emmanuel Clase. Stephan went 7-7 with a 4.06 ERA and two saves in 71 games last season.
