## Resource

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg undergoes Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. Despite attempts to avoid surgery with a platelet-rich plasma injection, the injury progressed poorly. The procedure was successful, and the team expects him to return by early 2027. Westburgs injury-plagued 2021 season saw him limited to 85 games, but he still managed solid numbers. The focus now is on his rehabilitation and getting him back to full strength for the start of the 2027 season. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
