Neal ElAttrache, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Cedars Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles, will perform the surgery on Mr. Ryu, the report said. It is unclear whether he will need a full UCL reconstruction, known as a Tommy John procedure, or a more minor partial UCL repair.
Regardless of the procedure performed, Mr. Ryu’s chronic ligament injury means his 2022 season is likely over.
