New York Mets pitcher Drew Smith undergoes second Tommy John surgery, likely out until 2026.

New York Mets relief pitcher Drew Smith underwent a second Tommy John surgery with an internal brace procedure, likely sidelining him until 2026. Smith, a free agent after this season, last pitched on June 23 and had hoped for an internal brace repair, but the full surgery requires a 12-18 month recovery period. Smith has a 3.06 ERA this season and a 3.48 ERA in his career.
