Shane Baz To Undergo Tommy John Surgery
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Shane Baz (elbow) is set to undergo Tommy John surgery, meaning he will miss the entire 2023 season. Tough news for the 23-year-old, who burst onto the scene in 2021 before having an injury-riddled 2022 season. He has dealt with elbow issues throughout the year, dating all the way back to spring training, so the writing seemed to be on the wall. Baz ended up making just nine starts this season, going 3-2 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 48 strikeouts in 40 ⅓ IP. This is tough news for Baz's dynasty league owners, but the hope now is that he can come back strong in 2024 and not have the recurring elbow issues he had this season.
