The New York Yankees have lost a top outfield prospect to Tommy John surgery for the second consecutive season.
The New York Yankees have lost a top outfield prospect to Tommy John surgery — again.Everson Pereira, the Yankees' No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was placed on the full-season injured list Thursday and will reportedly undergo Tommy John surgery, according to SNY's Andy Martino.This comes a little less than a year after top outfield prospect Jasson Domínguez underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery himself, after just eight games at the big league level.
He'll have an internal brace procedure, per Martino, which is a variation of Tommy John surgery with a shorter recovery time. It's the same surgery Domínguez underwent last year.Pereira will likely be ready around spring training next year, where he'll hope to compete for a roster spot in the beginning of the season. Pereira is the Yankees' third-best outfield prospect, behind Domínguez and Spencer Jones, who's currently in Double-A.
