Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu underwent Tommy John on Friday, the club said Saturday.

The surgery is expected to keep him out of the lineup for anywhere from 12-18 months effectively ending the four-year deal he signed when he joined the club ahead of the 2020 season.

Hyun Jin Ryu underwent successful surgery. It was a “revision UCL reconstruction with a flexor tendon repair.”
Full Tommy John. He’ll be out for at least a year. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlueJays?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlueJays</a>

Over the course of his three years, he started 49 games posting a 21-12 record, a 4.07 ERA and a 1.217 WHIP. In those 49 games, the Jays went 32-17. His most successful season came in that first year of the deal where his 2.69 ERA, among other stats, put him third in the AL Cy Young voting.
While Ryu&#8217;s injury puts the Jays in a bind when it comes to their rotation this year, his arrival in Toronto helped to signify to other stars that the Blue Jays were a team on the up and up. Who knows, without Ryu the Jays maybe wouldn&#8217;t have been able to lure stars like Marcus Semien and George Springer in 2021.
There had always been durability concerns when it came to Ryu, but this is a tough way for things to end.
