Posted 6/15/2009 11:11 PM ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay Rays reliever Jason Isringhausen will miss the rest of the season after tearing a ligament in his surgically repaired right elbow.

The 36-year-old right-hander was injured while throwing a pitch during the eighth inning of Saturday night's victory over the Washington Nationals. An MRI exam Monday found a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament.

TEAM REPORT: Inside the Rays

Isringhausen, who missed part of last season with the St. Louis Cardinals following elbow surgery, will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair the current damage. He was 0-1 with a 2.29 ERA in nine appearances this year.

The Rays placed Isringhausen, who has 293 career saves, on the 60-day disabled list on Sunday.
