MLB in brief: Tommy John operation for Felix Bautista | Miguel Cabrera’s parents

Operation Tommy John for Felix Bautista

The hopes of seeing him return to the playoffs are therefore dashed. Hard blow for the Orioles.

Mike Elias just announced that Felix Bautista will undergo Tommy John surgery in the next few weeks and won’t be available in October. Said nothing changed as he tried to get ready, but they “ran out of time” to get him playoff-ready.

The reliever also signed a two-year contract extension. He won’t launch until 2025, but he will already be under contract.

Speaking about the Orioles, Jackson Holliday said he wants to start next year in the Majors.

Jackson Holliday’s goal for ’24, make big club out of spring: “Last spring was awesome & I don’t think I would be here without it. But it’s definitely going to be a little different next year, having a chance to hopefully make the club out of spring is my goal.”

The club also designated Jorge Lopez for assignment earlier today.

Brandon Nimmo avoided the worst

The rotator cuff in his shoulder is uninjured, so he should be ready for next season.

Brandon Nimmo’s MRI revealed no rotator cuff damage in his shoulder, per Buck Showalter. Sounds like a relatively minor injury that will cost Nimmo the rest of this season but shouldn’t affect him in 2024.

Daniel Murphy the coach?

He hasn’t ruled out the idea of ​​eventually becoming a hitting coach.

Love for Bobby Witt Jr.

Salvador Perez says the youngster is the best player he has seen in Kansas City.

Miguel Cabrera’s parents

They made the ceremonial throw to their son today. A touching moment.

The Tigers also gave him personalized shoes made with balls from his great career moments. Gorgeous.

Mookie Betts and JD Martinez are impressed by Ronald Acuña Jr.

The Braves outfielder’s season is making a lasting impression.
