The Seattle Mariners announced Friday that right-handed pitcher Logan Evans underwent elbow surgery last week and is expected to miss about a year.

Mariners Executive Vice President and General Manager of Baseball Operations Justin Hollander and Vice President of High Performance and Medical Rob Scheidegger said Evans, 24, had surgery Jan. 23 to reconstruct a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right arm.

The UCL reconstruction with an internal brace procedure was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Texas.
