Mets' Brooks Raley to Undergo Season-Ending Elbow Surgery

Raley's surgery decision follows weeks of deliberation and multiple medical opinions on his elbow injury.

Raley will have surgery next week for ligament damage and bone spurs in his left elbow.
The Mets' top left-handed reliever will miss the rest of the season, impacting the bullpen.
Raley, 35, becomes a free agent this winter, leaving his future uncertain.
Jake Diekman and Josh Walker are expected to fill the void left by Raley.
Raley had a strong start to the season with a 0.00 ERA in eight appearances.
