Undergoes internal brace procedure
Lavender recently underwent an internal brace procedure on his left elbow, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Elbow surgery had been expected, and Lavender and the Mets probably have at least some level of relief that it was the internal brace variety and not a full Tommy John surgery. The left-hander will face a shorter rehab period for his internal brace surgery than he would with Tommy John surgery, but he'll still miss the remainder of the 2024 season and could open the 2025 season on the shelf. The 24-year-old had been regarded as one of the Mets' better relief prospects and was expected to make his MLB debut at some point in 2024 before he developed the elbow injury.
