Robert Gasser To Have Season-Ending Elbow Surgery
5 months agoMilwaukee Brewers left-handed pitching prospect Robert Gasser (elbow) has elected to have season-ending surgery on his left elbow. Gasser is looking at being out at least the next 12 months, although it's unclear at this time exactly what type of surgery he'll be having. Dr. Keith Meister will perform the procedure on Monday in Dallas, Texas. The 25-year-old rookie southpaw will need surgery to fix UCL damage in his elbow and will miss the rest of this year and most likely at least half of the 2025 campaign as a result. The team's No. 4 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, made his first five big-league starts in 2024 before his injury and looked good, going 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 16 strikeouts and just one walk over 28 innings pitched. The left-hander's upside makes him worth stashing, but only in dynasty/keeper leagues.
