Detroit Tigers rookie pitcher Jackson Jobe will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, the club announced Wednesday.
Dr. Keith Meister, team physician and orthopedic consultant for the Texas Rangers, will perform the operation, which has not yet been scheduled.
\"It\'s obviously really disappointing news,\" Tigers general manager Jeff Greenberg said. \"Really feel for Jackson. Obviously, everybody sees the talent, and he made a really positive impression to this team in his short time here. He\'s going to work through this. He\'s a very determined individual.\"
