The San Francisco Giants might spend some of their offseason resources searching for a left-handed arm to feature in the bullpen because, unfortunately, their 2025 relief plans just took a hit. On Thursday, the team announced that left-handed pitching prospect Reggie Crawford — their first-round pick in the 2022 MLB Draft — underwent surgery to repair the labrum in his left shoulder. The surgery, which was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache — a familiar name to anyone who closely follows athlete injuries — has an expected recovery time of 10-12 months.
Crawford, who is seemingly always jovial, optimistic, and motivated, posted a picture following the successful surgery.
