Trevor McDonald is set to undergo Tommy John surgery following an elbow injury that led to his placement on the 15-Day Injured List. The procedure will take place next week, sidelining the right-handed pitcher for the remainder of the current season and likely all of next season.

- •The surgery is scheduled for next week.
