Report: Marlins' Crow likely facing Tommy John surgery after MRI reveals tear

Spring training continues to take its toll on pitchers across the majors.

Miami Marlins righty Aaron Crow is likely facing season-ending Tommy John surgery after an MRI revealed a tear in his pitching elbow, reported MLB.com's Joe Frisaro.

Crow, who was acquired from the Kansas City Royals in November, was competing for a roster spot after avoiding arbitration with a one-year, $1.975-million deal this winter.

Crow went 6-1 with a 4.12 ERA in 67 appearances for the Royals last season.
