Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reported that Tropeno may need Tommy John surgery.
Nick Tropeano has medium- to high-grade tear in his UCL, the Angels say. Will get a 2nd opinion, but obviously TJ is usual course of action.

Tropeano pitched in yesterday’s win against the Texas Rangers. Tropeano only lasted two innings giving up three home runs.
