Westburg’s UCL Tear Prompts PRP Plan to Save Orioles’ 2026 Season

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg has been diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his right elbow and will skip surgery for now, instead receiving a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection to try to avoid an internal brace or Tommy John procedure. He is expected to miss at least April, with his return timeline dependent on how well the PRP responds. If surgery becomes necessary, the 2026 season could be largely lost; a successful PRP route could allow a later-season return as a designated hitter, but timelines remain uncertain. With Westburg and Holliday out, Baltimore faces a thinner infield early in spring training.
