Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg will miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow this week. The 27-year-old infielder received the news after a partial UCL tear failed to improve with conservative treatment.
Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias announced the procedure on Friday ahead of the team's opener against the Washington Nationals. Westburg had received a platelet-rich plasma injection on Feb. 20 but experienced recurring discomfort and met with surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles earlier this week before opting for surgery.
