Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jake McGee will have knee surgery Friday and miss six-to-eight weeks, according to The Tampa Tribune. At this point in the season, that timeline likely means that the procedure will end McGee's already injury-shortened season after just 36 relief appearances spanning 35 innings, during which he recorded a 2.57 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 48 strikeouts, six saves and 17 holds.
