Tommy John surgery for Yankees’ Gregorius

The New York Yankees say star shortstop Didi Gregorius will need Tommy John surgery on his right elbow after injuring himself during the AL Division Series. Manager Aaron Boone is optimistic Gregorius will spend most of next season with the club, but the team will know more after the surgery. The Yankees say he was hurt making a throw after a ball bounced off the left-field wall at Fenway Park in Boston during Game 1. The Red Sox eliminated the Yankees in four games. Gregorius, the anchor of the Yankees infield, hit .268 with 27 home runs and 86 RBIs last season.
