    Boston Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery Tuesday to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, a source told ESPN on Sunday night.Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington, however, denied that a decision on Crawford having surgery had been made. The Red Sox said earlier Sunday the team planned to meet with Crawford and members of the Red Sox's medical staff on Monday to make a decision on if and when Crawford would have the surgery."We want to make a focused decision tomorrow on what's best for Carl," Cherington said. "Listen to him, look at all the available information and figure out if this is something that needs to be fixed (immediately) or if he can continue to play with it."
