One of the Boston Red Sox's division competitors received rough injury news on Friday.
Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg will undergo season-ending elbow surgery, per Andy Kostka of the Baltimore Banner. Westburg has spent the entire 2026 campaign on the injured list after suffering a partially torn UCL in his right elbow during spring training.
It's another unfortunate injury setback for Westburg, who missed nearly two months with a hand injury after making the American League's All-Star roster in 2024. He played just 85 games last season due to a hamstring strain and ankle sprain.
Westburg has shown promise when healthy, batting .264/.312/.456 in 260 career games. He demonstrated a power uptick with 17 home runs in limited time last season while playing solid defense at second and third base.
The 27-year-old's absence has hurt an underperforming Orioles offense that ranks 20th with a .693 OPS. Gunnar Henderson is batting .197, and offseason signing Pete Alonso is slashing a modest .218/.310/.424.
