Overview

• General manager Mike Elias confirmed that ligament reconstruction is ruled out and that Rodriguez may undergo a debridement procedure to remove bone impingement.
• If the surgery proceeds, Rodriguez will miss the remainder of 2025 but is projected to be ready for spring training next February.
• Rodriguez has yet to appear this season after spring training elbow inflammation, a lat strain in April, and renewed elbow soreness in July.
• The club and outside medical experts initially opted for conservative treatment before revisiting the surgical option.
• His ongoing setbacks highlight Baltimore’s broader push to bolster pitching depth as it balances current competitiveness with long-term rotation health.
