Chase Dollander Undergoes Internal-Brace Surgery on Monday
Colorado Rockies right-hander Chase Dollander (elbow) underwent internal brace surgery on Monday, per Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette. Dollander was able to avoid Tommy John Surgery, which would have been the worst-case scenario for his return timeline. Still, the 24-year-old will miss the remainder of the 2026 season and likely a significant chunk of 2027. Dollander made some encouraging strides this year before getting injured, recording a 3-3 record with a 3.89 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and 47 strikeouts across 44 innings (10 appearances). The Rockies utilized Dollander largely in a bulk relief role out of the bullpen, but he went at least five innings in five out of his 10 outings and at least four innings in eight out of 10. The former top prospect averaged 99 miles per hour on his fastball and posted a solid 24.9% strikeout rate. Dollander now faces a long road back to a big-league mound, but he remains worth holding in dynasty formats.
