Cartwright exited Sunday’s 10-5 win against Auburn, where he said he “felt a pop” in his elbow after throwing his fourth pitch, which bounced in the dirt and had Cartwright immediately crouching in pain.

He will undergo surgery next Wednesday, April 13, Mainieri said.

Rehab from Tommy John surgery usually takes a full year.
