"Cody Ponce's diagnosis right now is a right ACL sprain. More doctors are reviewing the MRI now to see if there's a full tear for the final diagnosis. Schneider says the #BlueJays are 'holding onto' hope he can pitch again this year, but will miss significant time regardless."
"It's a gut wrenching result for Ponce who was quickly becoming a fan favourite. When he was signed this past offseason, he immediately won fans over with his charming personality, his self-professed 'nerdom' over Star Wars, and his touching tribute to his mother during his record setting 18-strikeout game with the Hanwah Eagles."
Cody Ponce's return to Major League Baseball was cut short due to a right ACL sprain sustained during his debut with the Toronto Blue Jays. After an awkward play in the third inning against the Colorado Rockies, Ponce was carted off the field and underwent an MRI. The results indicated a sprain, but further evaluations are needed to determine if there is a full tear. The Blue Jays remain hopeful for his return before the end of the 2026 season, despite the expected lengthy recovery.
