Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Johan Rojas is scheduled to undergo elbow surgery after being diagnosed with a torn UCL, according to multiple reports. The reports state that Rojas developed right elbow soreness during the period when he was ramping up activities as he prepared to return to play following a PED suspension. One account adds that the UCL injury requires surgery, which is expected to keep Rojas out for an extended period, with one report indicating he will miss the remainder of the current season and be out until spring training. The injury affects Rojas’ availability as he works back from the suspension, and his next steps are centered on the surgical procedure and subsequent recovery and rehabilitation. The Phillies have not changed the underlying timeline for his suspension within the coverage, but the elbow issue delays his return to game action. Details of the medical schedule and the projected length of the recovery are not fully specified across the reports.
