The Chicago White Sox announced that right-handed pitcher Mike Vasil will undergo Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for the entire 2026 season due to elbow issues. Vasil, who turns 26 soon, made his MLB debut in 2025 with a solid 2.50 ERA over 101 innings but had a mixed strikeout and walk rate. Despite his injury, he will accrue a full year of major league service. The team may consider free agents Sean Newcomb and Erick Fedde, along with Chris Murphy and Tyler Gilbert, as long relief options.
