Milwaukee Brewers prospect Johnny Hellweg will undergo Tommy John surgery Tuesday on his right elbow.
The 25-year-old was diagnosed with a torn UCL on April 22, and is expected to miss the entirety of the 2014 season.
Hellweg was acquired by the Brewers in the deal that sent Zack Greinke to the Los Angeles Angels in 2012.
