Overview

• Surgery scheduled for next week will officially close Rodriguez’s 2025 season without an MLB appearance.
• The Orioles opted for a debridement procedure designed to remove bone impingement rather than reconstruct the elbow’s ligament.
• Rodriguez has battled multiple setbacks this year, from April lat and triceps discomfort to a mid-July elbow flare-up.
• General manager Mike Elias said the procedure should position the 25-year-old to rejoin spring training in 2026.
• His absence adds to longstanding rotation instability that has forced Baltimore to shuffle starters and relievers.
