Brandon Walter Undergoes Tommy John Surgery
Houston Astros left-hander Brandon Walter (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Tuesday. Walter is expected to miss the entire 2026 campaign while recovering from the procedure. The 29-year-old made the first nine starts of his career this season and performed well over 53 2/3 innings. Walter logged a 3.35 ERA with a .93 WHIP, 52 strikeouts, and a meager four walks before going on the injured list with elbow inflammation on July 24. While Walter began working toward a return in early August, Houston shut him down later in the month after he continued to feel discomfort in his elbow. The Astros announced on Sept. 9 that Walter would undergo surgery, though it was unclear whether it would be a Tommy John procedure. It has since been revealed that he suffered a torn UCL, which will shelve him for the foreseeable future.
