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.

There is still no timetable for Judge's return to the lineup, but the team is hopeful that he will soon begin to make real progress. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that Judge is dealing with a "unique injury" and they want to make sure he is fully healed before returning to the field.

The Uncertain Future of Aaron Judge's Return to the Yankees.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's right big toe sprain could take up to four weeks to heal, according to Dr. Spencer Stein, a sports orthopedic surgeon at NYU Langone Health. Judge received a platelet-rich plasma injection to speed up the recovery and improve ligament healing. Stein said the fact that Judge received a PRP injection is a good sign because it normally means the patient has a low-grade injury and not a complete tear of a ligament that’s in need of treatment.
