Brewers LHP Angel Zerpa to Have Tommy John Surgery

Angel Zerpa is expected to miss the rest of the season after posting a 6.39 ERA in 12 appearances for Milwaukee.

  • On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Brewers announced that left-handed reliever Angel Zerpa will undergo season-ending ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction surgery next Monday.
  • The Brewers acquired Zerpa in December, trading outfielder Isaac Collins and right-hander Nick Mears to the Kansas City Royals to bolster their bullpen.
  • Zerpa posted a 6.39 ERA with two saves in 12 appearances for Milwaukee, while reliever Nick Mears holds a 2.31 ERA for the Royals.
  • Dr. Keith Meister will perform the reconstruction surgery next week, with the team anticipating Zerpa will remain sidelined until sometime after Opening Day in 2027.
  • Fortunately for the Brewers, Zerpa retains two additional years of team control on his contract, positioning the organization for a brighter long-term outlook.
