Rays' Shawn Tolleson: Out for season following Tommy John surgery

Tolleson (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the 2017 season, Marc Topkin of Tampa Bay Times reports.

Tolleson's season has been a train wreck after signing with Tampa Bay over the offseason. He started the year on the 60-day disabled list due to recurring back spasms, and this just closes the door on what will become a lost season. The former closer will now focus on rehabbing his arm with the hope of returning to action sometime during the summer of 2018.
