**[CITY, STATE] – [DATE]** – Starting pitcher Scott will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing a Tommy John/internal brace hybrid procedure next week, according to his agent, Nate Heisler of Klutch Sports. The news was announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday.
The procedure is a combination of the traditional Tommy John surgery, which replaces a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) with a tendon graft, and an internal brace, a device implanted into the elbow to provide additional support. This approach is becoming increasingly common as it often allows for a quicker recovery time.
While the exact timeline for Scott’s return to the mound is unclear, he is expected to miss the entire 2024 season. This news is a significant blow to [team name], who were hoping to contend for [championship] this year.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Scott’s recovery and hoping for a successful return to the game in 2025.
