The Atlanta Braves have announced that Huascar Ynoa underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday afternoon.

The right-hander hadn't pitched in more than two weeks after being optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Ynoa, 24, seemed like a building block for the Braves last season, posting a 4.05 ERA and 100 strikeouts over 91 innings (17 starts) in 2021. He struggled this year.
