Franklyn Kilome Has Tommy John Surgery
6 years agoNew York Mets pitching prospect Franklyn Kilome (elbow), the team's No. 5 prospect, underwent Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2019 season. Kilome was acquired from the Phillies in the trade involving infielder Asdrubal Cabrera. The 23-year-old right-hander had gone 4-9 with a 4.18 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 in 26 starts with Double-A Reading (Phillies) and Double-A Binghamton (Mets) this year. His ascent to the major leagues will obviously hit a road block next season.
