BALTIMORE -- Baltimore Orioles reliever Felix Bautista will have Tommy John surgery next month and miss the playoffs and likely the entire 2024 season.
The 28-year-old right-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 26, one day after he was hurt during a game against the Colorado Rockies.
"That was kind of the long-term conclusion as soon as we had our arms around the injury," general manager Mike Elias said Saturday.
Elias also said Bautista had agreed to a two-year contract. Bautista would have been eligible for salary arbitration after the 2024 season.
