LATEST INJURIES
3B Caleb Durbin
Injury: Right elbow surgery
Expected return: 2026
Status: Underwent an arthroscopic procedure on Oct. 30 to remove a bone spur in his throwing elbow. Because the procedure was minor, it is not expected to delay the start of his offseason workouts. (updated Nov. 6)
C William Contreras
Injury: Left middle finger surgery
Expected return: 2026
Status: Underwent a procedure the week of Halloween to address a longstanding fracture in the middle finger of his glove hand. GM Matt Arnold characterized it as “minor,” and he said Contreras would be sidelined from baseball activities for 5-6 weeks but is expected to be healthy in plenty of time for Spring Training.
