Cleveland Indians right-hander Gavin Floyd is set for his third elbow surgery in as many years.

The 32-year-old felt soreness in his pitching arm during a throwing session last week and an MRI revealed a stress fracture in his right elbow. He will undergo surgery Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

A timetable for his return has yet to be released, though manager Terry Francona didn't sound optimistic.

"He's going to miss a good portion, if not the whole year," Francona told Jordan Bastian of MLB.com.

Floyd, who agreed to a one-year, $4-million deal, has been limited to 78 2/3 innings over the past two seasons following a pair of elbow surgeries.
