Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Tyler Locklear needs shoulder and elbow surgeries this offseason, Nick Piecoro of AZCentral.com first reported on Thursday.
Locklear went on the injured list on Sept. 8 with left elbow inflammation after a collision at first base, as a throw from third baseman Jordan Lawlar took Locklear into Boston base runner Connor Wong.
His timeline is reportedly unclear, but he is expected to be back next year.
The Diamondbacks acquired Locklear in a trade package from the Seattle Mariners for All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez at the deadline. Arizona also picked up relievers Juan Burgos and Hunter Cranton.
