No, this is not an old story. It's happened again. The Angels are adding yet another name to the season-ending disabled list.

Right hander Blake Wood will undergo Tommy John surgery to address a tear of the graft of his previous TJ surgery Wednesday.

Since last pitching for the Halos April 21, Wood had thrown three times for Class-A Inland Empire as rehab, but was not able to recover properly, according to GM Billy Eppler.

Wood, 32, had allowed three runs in 11-2/3 innings before being shut down with the elbow injury. He is now the third Angels pitcher to be lost for the season via Tommy John.
