The Cincinnati Enquirer reports Ryan Madson will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.
An examination by team medical Dr. Tim Kremcheck revealed that the ligament in his elbow was ''torn off of the bone,'' and could not be repaired without surgery. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer's John Fay, the Reds do not have insurance on Madson's $8.5 million contract and will look to replace him in-house with Sean Marshall likely to close. Aroldis Chapman is also set to open the year in the bullpen.
