Dollander Out for Season with UCL Surgery

Colorado Rockies’ promising second-year pitcher Chase Dollander is headed for elbow surgery, likely ending his 2024 season and possibly sidelining him until 2025 or beyond. Drafted ninth overall, Dollander showed early promise and was even transitioning back to the rotation before the injury. With the Rockies already thin in the rotation, they’ve called up prospect Sean Sullivan to fill his spot. While the move makes sense for roster management, it’s a major setback for Dollander’s development and a tough blow for a player with high expectations. The Rockies will likely take a patient, long-term approach to his recovery, hoping he emerges even stronger on the other side. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
