Brandon Williamson has a full UCL tear that will require Tommy John surgery.
The Cincinnati Reds left-hander exited Tuesday night\'s game against the Atlanta Braves in the second inning with a strained elbow.
\"It kind of came out of nowhere,\" Williamson said, adding that he had two MRIs to diagnose the tear.
Williamson allowed three runs over 13 innings in three appearances before Tuesday. He allowed three runs in the first inning before the injury.
\"He is still young and athletic,\" David Bell said. \"Obviously, he won\'t be on the mound Opening Day. I don\'t have any real information on the timeline. I think as soon as we find out, I hope we have a realistic goal of having him back with real time left in the season next year.\"
