AROUND THE HORN

-

■ Brewers: Brewers left-handed starter Brent Suter will have Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the season. Suter had an MRI on Monday that revealed a torn ulnar collateral ligament. He left the Brewers’ 11-2 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday after three innings when he felt pain — the team initially diagnosed it as a strain, the same injury that led to a stint on the disabled list late last month. Suter said he would have the elbow surgery in the near future. Suter, 28, had pitched a career-high 1011⁄3 innings this season, going 8-7 with a 4.80 ERA in 20 appearance­s, including 18 starts. He’s helped the Brewers stay near the top of the NL Central race.

■ Dodgers: The Dodgers put infielder Justin Turner on the 10-day disabled because of a strained groin and recalled outfielder Alex Verdugo from Triple-A Oklahoma City before Monday night’s game against the Phillies. Turner was injured Sunday against the Brewers. He’s batting .259 with five homers and 20 RBIs for the NL West leaders.

■ Rays: The Rays put All-Star LHP Blake Snell on the 10-day disabled list with fatigue in his throwing shoulder. Snell had an MRI on Monday that showed no structural issues. The team is hopeful that Snell will miss just one start. The 25-year-old Snell had been scheduled to make his first post-All-Star appearance Tuesday night against the Yankees. Snell is 12-5 with a 2.27 ERA in 20 starts.

■ Mets: OF Yoenis Cespedes had an MRI and was examined by a specialist in an effort to determine whether he needs surgery on both feet that would sideline him for 8 to 10 months. “I guess what we’re looking to find out is if it has progressed to the point where it’s something that cannot be managed with the conservati­ve treatment that we’ve been using,” Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said. Cespedes homered in Friday night’s road victory against the Yankees in his return from the DL after missing two months with a strained right hip flexor.
