Drew Thorpe is the latest to require Tommy John surgery, which will keep him out for the entire 2025 season.

The team is also exploring treatment for Mason Adams, another pitcher with elbow problems, and has previously lost several others to similar injuries. The team prepares for the upcoming season with a shorthanded roster, needing to finalize their 26-man lineup by March 27.
