Pirates pitcher Jared Jones, who recently faced elbow issues leading to a UCL sprain, is reportedly likely to undergo Tommy John surgery, impacting his career significantly. While the exact decision on surgery is pending, it could jeopardize not only his 2025 season but also extend into 2026. This development is particularly concerning for the Pirates, who depend on a young rotation including Jones, Paul Skenes, and Bubba Chandler, all of whom are critical to the team's future success amid their current struggles.
Pirates fans received some ominous news today when John Perrotto of Pittsburgh Baseball Now reported that right-hander Jared Jones was "likely" to undergo Tommy John surgery.
Updates on Jones's status have been sparse since then, but this latest update is not exactly an encouraging one. While it's not yet clear if Jones will end up going under the knife.
