Orioles lose Eflin to Tommy John, out for season

Zach Eflin underwent UCL reconstruction (Tommy John) surgery for the Orioles, ending his season and likely sidelining him through at least the first half of 2027 after he left his season debut with elbow discomfort; a re-examination confirmed ligament damage. The 32-year-old veteran, who signed a one-year, $10 million deal with Baltimore last offseason, will hit the open market next winter as the Orioles lean on a rotation anchored by Rogers, Bradish, Baz and Bassitt, with Cade Povich likely getting a look as a fifth starter while Eflin rehabs.

Cole Returns to the Mound in Spring Debut, Yankees Hopeful After Tommy John

Gerrit Cole finally pitched in anger 54 weeks after Tommy John surgery, delivering a clean, 10-pitch inning in a spring start vs. the Red Sox with promising velocity as a positive first step in his rehab. The roundup also notes Oswaldo Cabrera’s emotional reaction to Venezuela’s World Baseball Classic win and possible roster implications, a defensive preview praising the Yankees’ left side but flagging potential vulnerabilities, and Carlos Lagrange emerging as a major-league-ready option who could soon factor into the Bronx lineup.

Twins Pitcher Pablo López Set for Tommy John, Out All of 2026

Twins right-hander Pablo López will undergo Tommy John surgery for a torn UCL, sidelining him for the 2026 season and aiming for a 2027 return. It will be López’s second TJ procedure, after one earlier in his career. He’s been a key part of Minnesota’s rotation, though 2025 was interrupted by a teres major strain and a forearm issue. With López out, Joe Ryan is expected to start Opening Day as Minnesota relies on internal options and offseason additions to fill the vacancy.

Westburg’s UCL Tear Prompts PRP Plan to Save Orioles’ 2026 Season

Westburg’s UCL Tear Prompts PRP Plan to Save Orioles’ 2026 Season

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg has been diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his right elbow and will skip surgery for now, instead receiving a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection to try to avoid an internal brace or Tommy John procedure. He is expected to miss at least April, with his return timeline dependent on how well the PRP responds. If surgery becomes necessary, the 2026 season could be largely lost; a successful PRP route could allow a later-season return as a designated hitter, but timelines remain uncertain. With Westburg and Holliday out, Baltimore faces a thinner infield early in spring training.

Blue Jays' Shane Bieber Trade: A Bold Move for Playoff Success
