Franklin Barreto To Undergo Tommy John Surgery
4 years agoLos Angeles Angels infielder Franklin Barreto (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery and is expected to be out 10 to 12 months, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Barreto was acquired in a mid-season trade with Oakland in 2020, with the Angels sending infielder Tommy La Stella to the Athletics. At one time one of the top prospects in Oakland's system, Barreto has yet to see that potential translate at the major league level, as he has slashed .175/.207/.342 in 101 games over four seasons. After his 2020 campaign was cut short due to shoulder surgery, it's yet another setback for Barreto, and his future with the Angels is likely in doubt at this point.
