The New York Yankees announced that left-handed relief pitcher Zack Britton will undergo surgery to removeย a bone chip from his left elbow.ย ย 

Britton, who is supposed to have the surgery within the next few days, is expected to miss three to four months, per Andy Martino of SNY.

The southpaw will be shut down completely for six weeks before building up to game shape.

According toย Lindsey Adlerย of The Athletic, Boone said Tuesday there is "no timetable yet" regarding how long Britton may be out.

Perย Lou DiPietroย of WFAN Sports Radio, Boone told reporters on Mondayย that Britton had discomfort in his left elbow after throwing a bullpen session Sunday and was scheduled for an MRI.

Britton, 33, has been sensational for the Yankees since they acquired him in a 2018 midseason trade with the Baltimore Orioles.

The 10-year veteran has posted a 2.14 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over 111 regular-season appearances in New York while striking out 90 batters in 105.1 innings.
