3 years agoTampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Andrew Kittredge (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the 2022 season, as well as at least the first half of the 2023 season. Kittredge was originally slated for a less invasive surgery to remove a loose body from his elbow, but imaging showed the need for Tommy John. This is a very unfortunate break for Kittredge, who appeared to have claimed the top leverage role in the Rays bullpen. It won't be easy for fantasy managers to replace Kittredge, and the Rays bullpen usage won't make things any easier. Colin Poche, Ryan Thompson, Brooks Raley, Jason Adam, J.P. Feyereisen, and Matt Wisler all have saves for the Rays this year, and manager Kevin Cash is notorious for not using his relievers in traditional ways.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
