Dodgers Free Agency Rumors: Alex Reyes Signed To Contract With Incentives

Texas Rangers pitching prospect Kumar Rocker, the third overall pick in the 2022 draft, will have Tommy John surgery for a torn ligament in his right elbow and will miss the rest of this season and the start of the 2024 season, the team announced Tuesday.The right-hander also was drafted 10th overall by the New York Mets in the 2021 draft but was the only first-round pick to go unsigned that year because of concerns over the health of his right arm.

VOTE: Who should the Yankees promote to their starting rotation?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball.Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in New York Yankees fans and fans across the country.Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.The Yankees are back home this week, and starting pitching (and Aaron Judge's status) is understandably front of mind.
On August 1, 2022, the Yankees sought to boost their rotation and bullpen by making a trade with the Oakland A's.They acquired starter Frankie Montas and reliever Lou Trivino for a package of four prospects, headlined by Ken Waldichuk and Luis Medina.Montas made eight bad starts down the stretch, appeared in one playoff inning, and hasn't taken the mound in 2023 due to shoulder surgery that will keep him out until August at the absolute earliest.
Luis Severino likely to start season on IL with lat strain

To paraphrase Charles Dickens, "Frankie Montas was dead, to begin with."That's a little dramatic since the man is (thankfully) in fine health otherwise, but Montas has seemingly gone the way of Ben Rortvedt, Pedro Feliciano, Carl Pavano, and any other perpetually-injured player from days of yore who might pop into your mind.
MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald: After it was announced that Frankie Montas required shoulder surgery and will be out for most of the year, speculation immediately began as to whether or not the Yankees would look to add a pitcher before the season.While you should never say never, considering Brian Cashman's history, Andy Martino reports that the team will first turn to Domingo Germán and Clarke Schmidt to fill the spot in the rotation.
