Rangers pitching prospect Alejandro Rosario is expected to miss the 2025 season due to a suspected UCL elbow injury, likely requiring Tommy John surgery, as stated by president of baseball operations Chris Young. The 23-year-old, who made significant strides in 2024 with a 2.24 ERA and a striking 36.9% strikeout rate, will see his career delayed. Although Texas has a strong roster of pitching options for 2025, Rosario's promising trajectory will be halted, pushing his MLB debut to potentially 2027.
"It's likely UCL," Young said, as relayed by Landry. "I don't want to officially say, but yeah, it's elbow and will probably require Tommy John."
Unfortunately, that incredible breakout will be put on hold for the 2025 campaign. That seems likely to delay his big league debut until 2027 at the earliest, surely a disappointing development for both the Rangers and the righty himself.
Rosario will require surgery, though Young was reluctant to offer any concrete details.
He struck out an incredible 36.9% of opponents faced in total last year while walking just 3.7% of batters.
