## Resource

Arizona Diamondbacks pitching prospect Cristian Mena faces a major setback with season-ending shoulder surgery, though recovery hopes are pinned on a 2027 return. His struggles began in rain-soaked outings last year, worsened by grip issues, and persisted despite spring training efforts. Meanwhile, other injured players show progress: Jordan Lawlar and A.J. Puk are nearing rehab assignments, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is targeting a June 12 return, and Carlos Santana remains on the 60-day IL with no clear timeline.
