It was known that Duarte was going to have an operation on his elbow, but the specific type of procedure hadn't been revealed until now.

Twins' Daniel Duarte: Out for season
Rotowire
Duarte will undergo season-ending elbow surgery on May 8, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Duarte initially landed on the injured list due to a triceps strain, and he will now need to go under the knife. It's unclear whether or not the 27-year-old's procedure will be a Tommy John surgery or some other operation, but it will put an early end to his 2024 campaign nonetheless. He allowed one earned run and struck out three batters through four innings across two appearances.
Duarte was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Twins on Sunday, retroactive to April 4, with a right triceps strain.
Duarte has pitched well out of Minnesota's bullpen this season in yielding just one run over four innings, but he'll now be on the shelf for at last a couple weeks and potentially longer. Jose Miranda has taken his spot on the roster.
