ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters will have season-ending surgery on his right elbow Tuesday.

Manager Buck Showalter announced the news before Monday night’s game at Tampa Bay.

Wieters had his ailing elbow examined Monday by Dr. James Andrews and will have Tommy John surgery. He has not played since May 10.

Wieters will have the injured ligament replaced by a tendon from the right wrist. He finishes the season with a .308 batting average, five homers and 18 RBIs in 26 games.
