The Miami Marlins have announced that their 20-year-old pitcher, Eury Perez, will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the entire 2024 season after a second consultation with Dr. Meister. This significant loss comes as a blow to the team, which has already seen Sandy Alcantara sidelined with the same injury earlier in the season. Perez, considered one of the most promising pitching prospects in recent years, faces a recovery period of 14-16 months, which could potentially put his 2025 season in jeopardy as well. The Marlins' president of baseball operations, Peter Bendix, made the announcement, highlighting the unfortunate timing of this injury amidst a series of pitching injuries for the team.
