## Resource

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Max Rajcic just had successful elbow surgery and is eager to return to the mound — though he’ll likely miss the entire 2027 season. At just 24, his comeback could land him right in his prime, possibly by 2028. Though his MLB debut in June wasn’t smooth — giving up runs in four of six outings — Rajcic was a standout in the minors, winning minor league pitcher of the year in 2023 and dominating in the bullpen before his call-up. His injury hits the Cardinals’ bullpen hard, but fans hope he’ll rebound stronger than ever. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
