RF Xavier Nady will undergo the second Tommy John surgery of his career, as expected. Nady met with Dr. Lewis Yocum on Tuesday, and the decision was made to perform the season-ending surgery on Nady's right elbow July 8. Yocum performed the procedure the last time Nady underwent it, in 2001.

The Yankees announced Wednesday that Nady will have Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, the team's official site reports.
Recommendation: We found out last week that he would require the surgery, but now it looks like the team recognizes the injury will not go away by resting and rehabbing it, so surgery is officially on tap. He will probably be out until after spring training 2010, but this is second Tommy John surgery so the recovery rate is around 20 percent.
