Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Angel Zerpa will have season-ending Tommy John surgery next Monday, the team confirmed Tuesday.
The 26-year-old reliever was placed on the 15-day injured list last week after experiencing tightness in his left forearm. The general recovery timeline for elbow surgery and UCL reconstruction is between 12 and 18 months.
Zerpa, acquired in an offseason trade with Kansas City, was 0-2 with two saves, a 6.39 ERA, six walks and eight strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings over 12 appearances with Milwaukee.
He last pitched on April 25, giving up three runs, one hit and one walk with one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning in taking a 6-3 loss in 10 innings to the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates.
The native of Venezuela is 12-9 in his career with two saves, a 4.13 ERA, 59 walks and 158 strikeouts in 189 2/3 innings over 160 regular-season games (eight starts) with Kansas City (2021-25) and Milwaukee. He also was 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA in five playoff appearances with the Royals in 2024.
