Ex-Red Sox pitcher Jalen Beeks (traded for Nate Eovaldi) needs Tommy John surgery

Former Red Sox left-hander Jalen Beeks has a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow and will almost certainly require Tommy John surgery, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Beeks, who had a 3.26 ERA in 19 ⅓ innings for the Rays this season, was placed on the 45-day injured list. Beeks was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Orioles in the ninth inning after he threw a pitch and looked toward the dugout shaking his pitching arm.
