Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo has informed members of the media that right-hander Corbin Burnes will undergo Tommy John surgery. Burnes will therefore miss the remainder of this season and possibly the entire 2026 campaign as well.
Radio broadcaster Chris Garagiola was among those to pass the info along.
Corbin Burnes will undergo Tommy John surgery next week, per Torey Lovullo. The procedure will be done by Dr. ElAttrache.
Corbin Burnes surprised baseball world, when he signed a six year, $210MM pact with Arizona this winter.
The Blue Jays and Giants were in a bidding war for Burnes services. When out of nowhere he signed with the DBacks. It looks like the Jays and Giants may have dodged a bullet this time.
D-backs announce RHP Corbin Burnes will undergo Tommy John surgery.
The news is devastating but unsurprising. Burnes was pitching on Sunday when he called the training staff out from the dugout.
He departed that game and the club later announced that he was experiencing elbow discomfort.
He went for various medical opinions in the following days but it seems the worst-case scenario could not be avoided, so he'll go under the knife.
Given that Tommy John surgery usually requires 14 to 18 months of recovery time, Burnes is definitely out for the rest of 2025.
A return in late in 2026 is possible but can't be guaranteed.
