Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Hunter Harvey will undergo Tommy John surgery on Tuesday. The doctor that will do the procedure is Dr. Donald D'Alessandro. 

Harvey left the game for Single-A Aberdeen on Saturday after throwing just 23 pitches. The cause was determined to be pain in his right flexor mass, a muscle in his elbow.

He was picked in the 22nd round of the 2013 MLB Draft. After surgery that removed a sports hernia back in May, however, he began pitching in the New York-Penn League.
