Trevor McDonald to undergo Tommy John surgery for Giants
Summary

Trevor McDonald is set to undergo Tommy John surgery following an elbow injury that led to his placement on the 15-Day Injured List. The procedure will take place next week, sidelining the right-handed pitcher for the remainder of the current season and likely all of next season. McDonald experienced discomfort during warm-up pitches in his last start, leading to the assessment of a UCL strain. The San Francisco Giants now face significant challenges in rebuilding their pitching rotation as they prepare for the offseason without McDonald, who is out of options upon his potential return in the spring of 2028.
