Daniels weighs season-ending surgery vs. rehab after second elbow dislocation

Jayden Daniels’ second left-elbow dislocation puts the Washington Commanders QB at a crossroads: surgery that would likely end his season vs. non-surgical rehab with bracing, guided by MRI findings, ligament stability, pain, and the team’s risk tolerance. Doctors note the injury’s ligament damage risk and unusual recurrence, and final plans will depend on how much rehabilitation restores stability, the non-throwing nature of the arm, and Daniels’ and Washington’s risk appetite, with past returns having ended in re-injury.

Greene MRI Adds Uncertainty to Reds' Rotation

Reds ace Hunter Greene will undergo an MRI on his right elbow after renewed stiffness dating back to last season.

While surgery hasn't been recommended, his availability for the season’s start is uncertain. Cincinnati’s rotation depth could be tested, with Andrew Abbott, Nick Lodolo, Brady Singer and prospects Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder in the mix, and the club signaling no immediate plans to sign additional free-agent starters.
