Tommy John surgery on right elbow (May 14). Season-ending. The 2024 All-Star had tried to avoid surgery with a February PRP injection, but the conservative approach failed. GM Mike Elias is targeting early 2027 for a full return. In his absence, Coby Mayo, Blaze Alexander, and Weston Wilson are sharing time at third base.

SEASON-ENDING: Underwent Tommy John surgery — out for the rest of 2026 and likely most of 2027. Westburg had been hitting .244 with 7 HR before being shut down. The Orioles' infield depth was already thin; this leaves them with Holliday (3B rehab), Blaze Alexander, and Coby Mayo at the corner.
