MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Twins pitcher Tyler Mahle will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery. He'll have elbow reconstruction surgery after an MRI showed issues with the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow. The 28-year-old Mahle was pulled from his start on April 27 after showing diminished velocity. He expressed optimism after the game and said he didn't expect to miss time, but he was later diagnosed with an impingement before more testing. The surgery will be done in the next two weeks. Mahle is on a one-year, $7.5 million contract with Minnesota and will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.
