Guardians pitching prospect Khal Stephen had surgery on Monday to repair his UCL.
The 23-year-old pitching prospect will be able to return in about 10-12 months since he did not have a full, traditional Tommy John surgery. Stephan had a 3.44 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 49/23 K/BB ratio across 55 innings for Double-A Akron this season. He should be able to make a few starts in Double-A in 2027 to finish the season.
