Rangers pitching prospect is out for the season. writes that the 20-year-old righty will undergo surgery to repair the UCL in his throwing elbow. Its unclear if hell require a full Tommy John reconstruction or the modified internal brace procedure. In either case, itll cost him all of 2024 and shelve him well into next season. Corniell has spent the entire season on the minor league injured list while attempting to Kyle Korver Jersey rehab the i sue without surgery. That unfortunately proved unsucce sful. Its a tough follow-up to a season that put Corniell more firmly on prospect radars. The Dominican-born hurler whom Texas initially acquired from the Mariners in 2020 for turned in a 2.92 earned run average in A-ball a season ago. He punched out nearly 30% of opponents against a 7.8% walk rate over 101 2/3 innings. The Rangers added Corniell to their 40-man roster last winter. Texas was concerned that another team (likely a rebuilding club) could grab him in the Rule 5 draft and try to stash him in the bullpen even though hed yet to pitch above High-A. Corniell will continue to count against the 40-man while hes on the minor league injured list. If theyre willing to pay him at the the prorated $740K MLB minimum rate, Texas could place Corniell on the 60-day IL to open a roster spot. Hed need to be reinstated over the offseason, though the Rangers could elect to non-tender him with an eye towards bringing him back on a minor league deal instead. Oscar Robertson Jersey
