Texas Rangers pitcher Kyle Cody underwent should surgery, the team announced on yesterday. The team indicated that the hope was that Cody would be back and ready to pitch again in the second half of 2022.
This is a disappointing blow for Cody, who was the Rangers’ minor league pitcher of the year in 2017, but has only pitched 49 innings since then due to injuries and COVID. Cody had an elbow strain in the spring of 2018, went the rest and rehab route, but after two outings in the AZL had a setback and ultimately needed Tommy John surgery, which cost him the rest of 2018 and all of 2019.
