Texas Rangers pitcher Cody Bradford needs elbow surgery and will miss the rest of the 2025 season, the team has announced today. Per the beats, it has yet to be determined whether it will be internal brace surgery or Tommy John surgery. Should Bradford need internal brace surgery, he would likely be back in early 2026. If he needs Tommy John surgery, he could miss all of 2026.
