Three MLB Pitchers Undergo Season-Ending Surgery Amid Injury Setbacks

Several MLB pitchers are facing season-ending surgeries in 2025, impacting their teams significantly. Detroit Tigers reliever Jason Foley underwent shoulder surgery after starting the season strong but then experiencing discomfort, ending his 2025 campaign; despite the setback, the Tigers value him and he remains under team control through 2026. Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Jake Bloss will miss a substantial amount of time after being diagnosed with a UCL injury requiring surgery, with no clear timeline for return, exacerbating the Blue Jays' ongoing pitching injury challenges. San Diego Padres pitcher Jhony Brito had UCL internal brace surgery and flexor tendon repair last month, sidelining him for the rest of 2025 and likely part of 2026; Brito was acquired in the trade that sent Juan Soto to the Yankees and was expected to be a key bullpen contributor. These injuries highlight the physical toll on pitchers and the roster challenges teams face as they navigate recovery timelines and roster management.
