Ben Heller undergoes Tommy John surgery
The New York Yankees announced Saturday afternoon that RHP Ben Heller has undergone Tommy John Surgery, which included removing a bone spur from his right elbow. The surgery was performed on Friday by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad, and will sideline Heller for the remainder of 2018.
