Jake Odorizzi won't pitch for Rangers in 2023 after surgery

CHICAGO -- Texas Rangers right-hander Jake Odorizzi will miss the rest of the season after undergoing shoulder debridement surgery, general manager Chris Young announced Friday.

Odorizzi, 33, was acquired from the Atlanta Braves for left-hander Kolby Allard in November but won't throw a pitch for the Rangers in 2023. His shoulder ailment came up during winter workouts and never subsided.

"As we sit today, it's a blow," Young said. "But we knew we'd go through something like this. ... We were counting on him to provide meaningful innings this season.
