Trevor Rosenthal To Undergo Elbow Surgery

By Steve Adams | June 14, 2023 at 11:03am CDT

Veteran right-hander Trevor Rosenthal is slated undergo elbow surgery next week, the Tigers announced within their latest wave of injury updates on minor league players. The former All-Star has been attempting a comeback with the Tigers, but he’s now headed for a revision on a prior Tommy John procedure. Detroit also announced that infielder Ryan Kreidler underwent core muscle surgery and that lefty Miguel Del Pozo had Tommy John surgery.

Rosenthal, 33, hasn’t pitched in the Majors since the 2020 season and has just 39 big league frames under his belt since the conclusion of the 2017 season. Injuries have derailed the career of the former Cardinals closer, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2017 and thoracic outlet surgery in 2021. Rosenthal also had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his hip during the 2021 season.

A healthy Rosenthal has proven himself capable of being one of the sport’s top relievers. From 2012-15, he boasted a 2.66 ERA and 30.4% strikeout rate, twice reaching 45 saves in a season along the way. His 2019 return from that 2017 Tommy John procedure was a disaster, but Rosenthal pitched 23 2/3 innings of 1.90 ERA ball while punching out 41.8% of his opponents during the shortened 2020 season. This will now be Rosenthal’s third surgery of note since his last big league pitch, however. He pitched in just three minor league games with the Tigers this year before landing on the injured list.

Kreidler, 25, has appeared in 37 games for the Tigers dating back to 2022 but has just a .165/.220/.209 slash in 102 big league plate appearances. He’s slashed .253/.374/.466 with 18 home runs and 22 steals through 446 plate appearances at the Triple-A level in his career, however, and is regarded as an above-average defender who can handle multiple spots around the infield (third base, shortstop and second base). He’s currently in physical therapy following the surgery. A timetable for his return wasn’t provided.

The 30-year-old Del Pozo returned to the Tigers on a minor league deal this offseason. He’d previously pitched 5 1/3 frames as a Tiger back in 2021 and also spent the 2022 season in their Triple-A bullpen, pitching to a 3.88 ERA in 53 1/3 frames. Del Pozo, who’s allowed 20 runs in 18 1/3 big league innings but has a more palatable 4.23 ERA in four Triple-A campaigns, appeared in just six games this season before landing on the injured list. The timing of this surgery will shelve him until late in the 2024 season and potentially all the way into the 2025 season.

      Why? Somehow he continues to get paid to do nothing. Keep the checks and MLB service time rolling

    2 TJS, thoracic outlet surgery and hip surgery all in relatively short timeframe. The dude is gonna have more scar tissue than muscle tissue.

    What’s crazy is that TJS is probably the least likely to end his career of all those surgeries, but the rate of success of 2 TJS is far lower. Thoracic outlet surgery is an absolute nightmare and very uncertain. Anytime you mess with labrum – whether it’s hip or shoulder, there’s no guarantee an athlete will rebound well – especially at the highest level of competition.

    It would be quite a story if he can make it back and do well, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

    He needs 2 more seasons for 10 years. He’s going to keep trying.

    Let’s see if I got this right. He is having surgery to repair the Tommy John surgery that has kept him from playing since 2020?

    Today’s double header in Detroit started off great for Detroit, but turned into a Braves exhibition game. What has made today’s game great though is the announcing, and the stores the guys have been telling. Lot of fun with a players only broadcast, Monday’s game and today’s. Tigers have a ways to go team wise, and this year is a big weeding year too.

    The draft, and those players placements always have guys moving up. How many of this years team will be here next year is anyone’s guess. This draft will be fun to see who Detroit gets that can get up quick to the Majors. Fun telecast with the players doing it. The 84, and the 2006 guys has been FANtastic. I sure wish Gibby was healthy, because he’s always fun when he’s feeling good. Dan, Tpdd. and Cmo have been a riot.

    Hope he recovers well and then makes his decision. I really think this surgery will be more than he can overcome, but he did fight hard to make it back.

    You’d think someone would have looked at the schedule and said….wow…..
    We better trade some.guys before all these first place teams decimate our stats……
    and our guys lose value.
    No. Let’s wait.

    I am back to asking to be hired. I can’t just sit by and watch all this stuff happen. Somebody has to do something!

    Hire the Superfife. Someone in the organization has to care……
