- After leaving a spring start Saturday at Camelback Ranch-Glendale with right elbow soreness after throwing 3 2/3 scoreless innings, tests showed Mike Vasil's injury was worse and likely from wear and tear.
- Vasil was one of five Sox pitchers to reach at least 100 innings, with a rookie stat line of 5-3 and a 2.50 ERA in 47 appearances last year.
- The club estimated a 12-18 month recovery, meaning Vasil will miss the 2026 season, opening a spot for Rule 5 selections Jedixson Paez or Alexander Alberto.
- Vasil vowed to do everything to make a speedy recovery and take precautions while rehabbing with the team, targeting April 2, 2027 as his return date.
