| 6/27/25 | Star Diamondbacks Closer Likely Out All of 2026. Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo revealed Friday that Justin Martinez had ligament replacement (Tommy John) surgery, along with some type of brace procedure as well. Heading into the surgery, the indications were that Martinez would not require a new ligament. Based on previous news conferences, it was thought he would have the Brace Procedure, which offers a 12-13 month timeline. Counting out from now, the best case scenario then would be at least 14 months, which would take Martinez to the end of August 2026. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/diamondbacks/arizona-diamon... |
