New York Yankees prospect Gleyber Torres has a torn ligament in his non-throwing elbow and will miss the remainder of the season.

Torres will undergo Tommy John surgery on his left elbow but is expected to recover in time for spring training in 2018. The infielder was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow.

"It is unfortunate," Brian Cashman said. "I'm thankful that it is a correctable problem."

Had he not been injured, Torres might have been called up by the Yankees at midseason.
