Houston Astros pitcher Cristian Javier will reportedly undergo Tommy John surgery, adding to the injury woes of a team whose pitchers can't stay healthy.
The Houston Astros' quest to remain relevant in the American League standings went from the frying pan into the fire Tuesday.Adding to a laundry list of devastating injuries, Astros pitcher Cristian Javier will undergo Tommy John surgery on Thursday, ending his season, according to The Athletic.Javier will become the fourth Astros starting pitcher either nursing an injury to his pitching elbow or forearm, or on the recovery trail from elbow surgery.
Last year, Javier went 1-1 in his only two ALCS appearances against the eventual champion Texas Rangers. He recorded only one out in a Game 7 appearance while allowing three runs.Still, the Astros were counting on a big rebound from Javier in 2024. They began the season without veterans Lance McCullers and Justin Verlander in their rotation, as each was recovering from an injury.
