Overview

  • The All-Star right-hander’s procedure ends his 2025 campaign and could extend his absence through 2027 given typical 12–15 month recovery timelines.
  • Hunter Dobbins and Kutter Crawford have also been ruled out for the season after suffering a torn ACL and undergoing wrist surgery, respectively.
  • Boston acquired Dodgers righty Dustin May at the July 31 trade deadline to help fill gaps in a depleted rotation.
  • Closer Aroldis Chapman exited Sunday’s win with back tightness and is being monitored day to day with no injured list placement expected.
  • Manager Alex Cora remains cautiously optimistic that top prospect Marcelo Mayer could make a late-season comeback from his wrist injury.
