Eric Pardinho Undergoes Tommy John Surgery
Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Eric Pardinho (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Tuesday and will miss the entire 2020 season. Pardinho, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, had a nice 2.15 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 35 strikeouts and 16 walks in seven games and one relief outing (37 2/3 innings) for Low-A Lansing and the Rookie League in 2019. This injury will obviously set the 19-year-old back in his journey to the major leagues, but the right-hander was already at least several years away from a potential debut with Toronto. He has the potential to be a mid-rotation starter for the Blue Jays with a good ability to execute all of his pitches.
