Cardinals pitcher Hunter Dobbins underwent reconstructive elbow surgery, with a recovery timeline of about 12 months, as reported by Derrick Goold. Dobbins, who was acquired from the Red Sox, had shown promise with a 3.67 ERA this season but faced injury setbacks, including an ACL tear in 2025. The Cardinals, currently 3.5 games out of the NL Wild Card, will continue without Dobbins as they adjust their rotation. Andre Pallante is set to return, aiding the team’s efforts in the playoff race.
