Max Fried Going To Have To Have Surgery Following Leaving New York's 7-0 Loss To Baltimore Wednesday Afternoon In Baltimore Maryland With Elbow Soreness?

New York, manager Aaron Boone already has one starting pitcher back from elbow surgery. That one pitcher is Carlos Rodon who has since made his return to starting rotation following having surgery in October of 2025 to remove loose bodies as well as shave bone spur in his left elbow.

While he’s waiting on another in Gerrit Cole who is rehabbing making his way back from Tommy John Surgery and should be back really soon!

What is Tommy John Surgery?

UCL reconstruction is a surgery commonly used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow by replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. The goal of the surgery is to stabilize the elbow, reduce or eliminate pain and restore stability and range of motion. This procedure was introduced and first performed by Frank Jobe, M.D., on baseball pitcher Tommy John in 1974—hence the colloquial name Tommy John surgery.
