- He’s been dealing with an elbow issue that required surgery in late 2025 to remove loose bodies and shave a bone spur. Recent reports suggested he aimed to return to pitching in the 2026 season, with hopes for late April to early May on a rehab timeline. This reflects his ongoing recovery from prior injuries and the team’s plan to bring him along gradually.[1][2][3]
