The New York Post is reporting this evening that Xavier Nady will indeed have Tommy John surgery on his right elbow and will be done for the 2009 season. In fact, the free agent to be may be miss all of 2010.

Nady had injured his elbow back on April 14 and was on his way back to the majors with a minor league rehab stint. But Nady felt something in his elbow after making a throw from the outfield for the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre Yankees on Wednesday.

Nady told several teammates Thursday night that he was going to have to go through the same invasive surgery he had in 2001. Nady planned on meeting with Dr. Lewis Yokum, who performed the ‘01 surgery, earlier today, though he told teammates tests weren’t necessary. He already knew the outcome.
