AI Summary
Jordan Westburg will undergo elbow surgery and miss the remainder of the season.
While it's not explicitly said in the report, it's likely that Westburg is undergoing Tommy John or an internal brace surgery as those were among the options presented earlier in May after he was shut down. Westburg will enter his age-28 season in 2027 looking to re-establish himself as a cornerstone for the Orioles. His absence means there is no playing time threat to Jeremiah Jackson and Blaze Alexander at second and third base for the remainder of the season.
