The Houston Astros announced on Wednesday that right-hander Ronel Blanco (elbow) will have season-ending right-elbow surgery next week. Blanco is expected to return during the 2026 season. Specifically, Blanco will have Tommy John surgery, which means he'll miss the rest of this year and most likely at least half of 2026. It's a tough blow to an Astros starting rotation that also currently has Luis Garcia (elbow) and Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) on the injured list. Now that the 31-year-old Blanco is officially done for the year, fantasy managers in single-year formats can safely drop him and look for a replacement pitcher. Left-handed rookie Colton Gordon should continue to stick in Houston's starting rotation for the foreseeable future. Before getting hurt, Blanco went 3-4 with a 4.10 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 48 strikeouts and 20 walks in 48 1/3 innings over his nine starts in 2025.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
