B.J. Ryan To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

B.J. Ryan, after a second examination on his elbow, was told to undergo Tommy John surgery today. He'll be out the rest of the season. Like I said before, with Jason Frasor giving up runs in his last 3 appearances, it's likely the Blue Jays will turn to Jeremy Accardo in the next save situation. It's a situation worth monitoring as there's no clearcut answer right now.

Fantasy Impact: Drop B.J. Ryan in all redraft leagues and in most shallow keeper leagues. Only put him on the DL if you play in a league where all reliable closers are kept. Jeremy Accardo is worth a roster spot now, and Frasor is worth holding onto if you have the space. I just wouldn't suggest keeping him active until this situation plays out and he starts showing consistency.
