Tommy John Surgery Recommended for Randy Rodriguez
According to the San Francisco Giants, multiple doctors recommended that reliever Randy Rodriguez (elbow) undergo Tommy John surgery. Rodriguez will make a final decision this weekend, but Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports thinks it's inevitable. It is brutal news for one of the team's breakout stars in 2025, and Tommy John surgery would keep him out for the entire 2026 season. The Dominican right-hander was placed on the injured list on Tuesday with a right-elbow injury that turned out to be pretty serious. Rodriguz took over primary closing duties in San Fran after the team traded Camilo Doval at the trade deadline, and he finished his second year in the big leagues as a first-time All-Star with a 1.78 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, four saves and a 67:11 K:BB in 50 2/3 frames. With Rodriguez out, Ryan Walker has taken over closing duties for the Gigantes.
