About 2 minutes reading time. HOUSTON (AP) — Houston right-hander Ronel Blanco will have season-ending Tommy John surgery next week. The team made the announcement Wednesday after Blanco got a second opinion. He was last week with inflammation in his throwing elbow, a few days after his last start on May 17. “I know how hard he’s worked to get to this point and it stinks,” manager Joe Espada said.
